Nice pics....So is it as dangerous to ride in NYC as one would imagine?

i started riding in 2008, and ride every day until the temp goes below 40 degrees. in that time, i have been knocked down once, which kinda hurt, and i took off the door of a taxi cab when a passenger tried to get out on the traffic side, without looking. that one didn't hurt as bad and there was no damage to my fjr. in the city, there are a lot of people and bicycles going against traffic. the highways around the city are loaded with cars and trucks in a mad hurry and this is most challenging.
to get away, i usually head north into the catskill and adirondack mountains.

Great pictures. I can even imagine what its like to ride a motorcycle in NYC. YOu looked like you very close to the Freedom tower. Glad to see that building finally get close to completed. What is it like to ride up there?

i'm sure that riding up here is not as challenging as riding in mumbai or bejing.
