What a nice commute. First a beautiful view of the Hudson River and the turning leaves in New Jersey from the 158th St. greenway entrance I knew was there but didn't find until today, followed shortly by a fast stop for a girl (I think) with a bad dye job, carrying a tube TV, who couldn't decide where she wanted to be on the greenway, then a flock of geese and the still-novel experience of the freshly opened section near Dinosaur/Fairway. Then down near 52nd some Brooklyn Velo Force guys in full kit coming the other way, neither of whom (on passing inspection) was my friend Mark, so I figured I'd tell him I'd seen his teammates--and not 2 minutes later, none other than Mark himself in full Fred mode (this is him), going North on his single-speed.

And all the bolts got tightened on the Swift while I was hunting down that one *$&% squeak the other day, so it was a nice quiet solid ride.

Two thumbs up. Highly recommended.
