Bikeless again in New York (temporarily)
I bought a new bike and have barely looked back to mass transit since. A few times I was out with friends and ended up riding the subway home
It feels so amazing when you ride around New York City on a bike. Screw the cabs. Screw the traffic. Screw the MTA. I have my wheels, thank you.
Today I went to traffic court to fight a "Driving With No Insurance" ticket. It happened when I was driving to see The Strange as they were visiting Brooklyn. My passenger couldn't navigate us to them (my phone sucks) so I took my phone from her and got a ticket for using a cell while driving. He didn't see my current insurance (I had 2 , a new and outdated one) so he wrote me a ticket for that.
So now New York is not gonna fuck with me... my driving record is CLEAN.
I rode from downtown Brooklyn into Manhattan this afternoon. It's such a beautiful ride... I love the way it makes me feel when I am on 2 wheels. I know I am not active enough, so this is my release... from stress, from whatever... just me and the road.. and about a million cabbies trying to kill me ,but whatever...
Now I have to wait until Thursday to get my bike.. It went in for repair.. I had intended to drop it off when I flew out to Las Vegas but I just ran out of time. So now I'm back here in the city and stuck on 2 feet.. I'm glad I can walk acrosss the Williamsburg Bridge to get home, I don't have to ride the subway if I don't want to.
