New York isnt as fast as you think..

Just dropped into NY the other day and we took a ride in Central Park. It was so beautiful and green, even the Gods would be envious. We had a fabulous time riding around on our road bikes, but we ran into amateur tourists on bikes riding as fast as ants. Ants are fast, but relatively talking they are slow as hell. Now these bikers, these noobs they kept on taking up the entire road and bike lane. It was like a pendulum there are 4-5 bikers in a row and you would have to time it perfectly to escape through the hole. We actually made a game of it. And get this, they didn't even wear a helmet. Don't get me wrong if you are biking then its great, power to you. But when you hop on that bike you take on the responsibility of your safety and others. Its like people tend to think all bikers are alike, pests to the road. So with that being said, we all have the responsibility to protect our reputations as bikers. And for goodness sake, stay to the right side..
