Riding the Summer Streets

Today, the city gave a big chunk of New York streets to the bicyclists--and the pedestrians, and the scooter riders, and the skaters. I've been waiting for this all summer and I almost missed it because we were out of town for the first two Saturdays. But we caught it today and had a great time. My biggest thrill may have been snapping the picture above, of the beautiful statue of Mercury above Grand Central Terminal. Not a view you're usually privileged to see.

It was a beautiful day, and a great ride. Relatively few conflicts between people. Here's hoping the city does more of the same next year.

Here's my girl waiting for the train that brought us home from the Adirondacks last week. Gosh I'm lucky.
