Is it me or has traffic in the city went from busy to non existent? What usuallly takes 40minutes in traffic, no matter how hard i ride it, is 20minutes of straight cruising.

Comming of West side highway southbound, the holland tunnel was completely empty.
The west sidehigh way north bound in the morning was flowing, and i was doing 60mph with very little traffic.
When i get of the manhattan bridge, i usually expect flatbush ext to be packed with cars at every light, now theres less than 20% of each block full.
I havent had to use my horn more than 2-3 times, ( i used it on a LEO Today, that asshole almost ran me over)

Yeh, the trains were a little empty this morning.  I wish I had some vacation days left to take off every Fri. for the rest of the summer.  8)

Yeah for sure, I work downtown and was walking down St. Mark's to pick up lunch and it was desolate for St. Mark's standards, no deliveries apparent or anything.  Strangely quiet... but definitely appreciated
Our work is never over...

I haven't noticed less people.  Maybe it's just the places I be.

I haven't noticed less people, but I fell like there aren't as many bikes as last summer. I see the occasional sports bike here and there, and also the choppers cruising 14th st. but thats about it. I am curious where are all the riders ????

P.S. Anyone here have a 695 parked on Gates Ave and Cambridge last night ?? Black with Red frame.

I think they were all out in Montauk.

Man what a zoo it was in town!
Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

Everyone is inside in the A/C. It is too F`n hot to do anything. I can`t even play Rock Band.

I went out today, holy crap is it hot on the bike, with all the gear.  Yuk.
