So I've started commuting by bike, in NYC

[sir pball]

7. I kind of figured, the 10% of asshole cyclists really ruin it.

To be fair and clear, most cyclists here are fine, but the few that are assholes are REAL ASSHOLES. I run quite a bit too, one of my favorite activities when I see a reckless cyclist is to play chicken with them...once or twice I may have just not gotten out of the way fast enough Officer, their handlebar whacked my elbow, so sorry they went facefirst onto the asphalt, accidents happen huh?

I'm lucky enough to live in Manhattan on Riverside, once I cross the street I have ten miles of essentially uninterrupted greenway down to the Battery...I can stretch it to about 14.5 if I go up the East River to 42nd. I really hate and avoid the streets if possible.
