Lynn, nice to hear about the adventuresome cyclists in Manhatten. I was just hit by a car on my bike last week in the county with the lowest bike/car accidents in the country (for highly populated suburbs), Marin. Bikes are very safe but cars often do really stupid and unconscious things. This guy just turned left in front of me as I was descending a hill. The bike snapped in half when I hit the car so I knew that it could have been me. I came away with only minor damage, a broken thumb, and 7 stitches above my eye. I was back on the bike in 4 days, but at this moment I am having trouble imagining myself cycling anywhere in NYC.
I lived on 71st and West End for about 5 years. I know Grey's Papaya on 72nd st. well.
As for my straight forward and occasionally combative nature, well you can take me out of NY but you can never tale the NY put of me!!
Oh lastly, I am a lifelong Yankees, Giants, Knicks and Ranger fan. I hated the jets growing up but since Parcells came to the Jets I have become a junior Jet fan. When they play the Giants I can't root for them, but the rest of the time, Go Gang Green. Interesting team. If you have a record and will travel, Rex and co want and need you!!
Now the Mets are a differnt story. In 1986 I rooted for the Red Sox in the WS. Need I say more!!
