Hey Vincen!

Man I just got that email from T.A. also. What the hell is with this City?

I had one of the most frustrating commutes home today in quite a while.

Masses of people jaywalking together effectively making it a "walk" signal (pedestrian critical mass) , I get down to Herald Square Park and the planters next to the bike lane have been moved IN TO the bike lane, so now the lane is full of people too!

Then I get down to Union Square where a car pulls out in front of me, from being parked, then stops suddenly when I start pedaling again. THEN backs up. I smacked the trunk of his car, and go around him. He calls me an ******* and peels rubber trying to giving me a little hit!!!!

WOW.

Anyway I've had it with the way the City treats bikers. It's bananas.

I'm doing everything I can to make myself more visible as the winter creeps in. I just ordered two new lights and an Illuminite jacket to boot.

I definitely want to do Critical Mass this month. I haven't done one since August or so and would love to get back out there.
