Tuesday Afternoon

author: Peter : New York, NY

Tuesday afternoon, I got hit by a van while biking home. Ironically, it happened mere moments after writing this. The Story: Every day, I commute from 108th/B'way to 72nd/York via bike. I've biked almost everywhere in the city you can possibly ride without any drama, short of dodging the occasional errant cab or barreling bus. Tuesday, I was not quite so lucky. About 80% of my commute takes place in Central Park, and during the rush-hours I'm riding, its closed to traffic; ergo, it makes for an ideal ride- a free run of wide ribbons of road free of traffic- It's ideal.

Now that the comparatively balmy weather of spring is upon us, I've been riding my sleekly fast roadbike to work. You see, when I do the train/crosstown-bus combo, my commute takes damn near an hour. When I walk, it takes about 30-40 minutes, depending on the walk/don't-walk luck and the traffic.

Thats right, mere moments of commuting bliss, unencumbered by traffic laws...

The City of New York:

Some people take cigarette breaks; But me, every hour or so, I walk up onto the overpass-catwalk that crosses the FDR parkway on the east side and stand in a sunny spot and do breathing exercises while watching the sun arc across the sky. This morning, while I was there, a man was attempting to walk his dog, a little sheltie, over to the park ribboning the river's edge. The dog was seemed terrified; she was looking over the walkway's edge, down over traffic, drooling, losing bladder control, hyperventilating. The man was alternating between trying to drag the dog by her...
