JB, you are right, the riding in circles in CP can be boring. However, the easy access up the west side to the GWB and over to the riding in NJ or to Harriman State Pk, give riders looking for more diversity and miles a reasonable alternative.

For me, the riding in Central Park nevers gets boring, I just don't think of it as riding.? Its just a more mobile way of sightseeing.? I love seeing all of the people out and about.? And, it is more satisfying to get a quick 30 minutes of outdoor activity there than here in Virginia (that's what amazes me).

John, glad to hear you are mostly OK (or at least back on the bike). We saw the results of a similar accident across the bridge in New Jersey a couple of weeks back.? In front of a local popular bike store with 20-30 riders around, and some guy made a left turn in front of a rider and she had nowhere to go.? Broken arm.

What does carbon fiber look like when it snaps like that? Dangerous jagged edges?? Sounds like you were 'pretty lucky' given the 'unlucky' circumstances.
