Rant
Was coming back from Brooklyn just now, and was reminded exactly why I hate the west side bike path on weekends.
1) Tourists who stopped in the middle of the bike side of the Brooklyn Bridge to compose careful photos, despite steady flow of 2 way traffic.
2) Jackass who passed me while I was stopped at traffic near Chelsea Piers yelling, "You may be an experienced rider, but you're a shithead for not staying on the left!!" (WTF? Left?)
3) Father who watched son play with grating in center of rather narrow, high-traffic turn in Riverside Park.
4) Lady who obliviously walked her dog on long leash - long enough that said dog was on the far side of the path, so said leash formed a nice, knee-high hurdle.
Are there that many foolish people in New York?
