Silly m...Ride quality? It's The Road, Stupid!<br /><br />Silly me, I ride Van Cortlandt Park's Old Putnam Trail to get to work. Ride quality is OK, except for the periodic mud holes. Or when it rains, then I get a chance to practice my fording skills. That's "fording" with a little F. Apparently, the Riverdale NIMBYs like it that way, and would be mortified if a CitiBike station were to EVER be placed at the Van Cortlandt golf course. I see I have a lot to look forward to on ride quality.<br /><br />Then there's the "Cherry Walk," along the Hudson River north of 96 St. Nothing cherry about it at all.<br /><br />And don't forget the ever-increasing number of "speed humps" being placed around NYC, ostensibly for our protection. Careful you don't rear-end cars as they hit the brakes for them.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-41274194438268042502016-06-07T10:45:57.651-04:002016-06-07T10:45:57.651-04:00VN still has a comparo with other notable bike tos...VN still has a comparo with other notable bike tosses.
