Once was enough.

You spend the first hour in a traffic jam with 30,000 other cyclists on the Ave of the Americas and the remaining 5 hours watching for amateurs that stop their bikes in the middle of the road for no good reason and other dudes who think they're "Lance". You are correct Mark about seeing interesting vintage steel.

Like menus in a certain New York City restaurant that I frequent, this ride is for tourists.

> Speaking of Brooklyn....I suppose some native New Yorkers leave town for Bike New York, which occurs this Sunday. I will be taking a dozen kids from the youth bike program I help run. Just wondered if any listers would be riding in this 29th running of the annual Mardi Gras on wheels, with 30,000 other nuts. Classic content....usually see some interesting steel.
