The craziest thing I ever did was probably biked up from Lower East Side to Mid-town via... The FDR Drive. Man, young and foolish. And I still have fond memory of one time getting a green light break around 50th st. and pretty much cruise all the way down. Good time. I had a 3rd-hand used hand-made British racing bike. It was a bit tall for me, but hey, it's free from my brother (who bought it for 200 bucks, I think. It was probably worth close to a thousand - 1970's money!). A couple years ago, we bought a couple bikes in the hope of getting more exercise. I was absolutely amazed with the "new" bike technology with the hybrid bikes. The gear shift is dead easy to use, and you can sit upright. Wow. A few weeks ago, a friend gave us his old racing bike, and today I took it for a spin: http://www.5pmlight.com/PICS/bike/L9995205.jpg Disaster strike, I hit a rock and flipped over. While doing a somersault in the air, I took this picture: http://www.5pmlight.com/PICS/bike/L9995202.jpg No, actually, that was a lie. I put down the bike and took a picture. Obviously a mistake here but I like the blurriness.
