Hurrah!
I have a bike! After three years of abstinence, I'm a bike owner again! yay.
I baptised it in fire, by riding across Queens down Broadway and Queens Boulevard. The Blvd especially was hair-raising, goodness, some people are crazy. But I managed, even though my brain is hard-wired to drive on the left-hand side of the road.
The bike shop was closed, and I ended up buying a rather weedy cable lock from a hardware place. No, it's a respectable cable lock, it's just that in NYC you have to have anchor chain. Oh well. For the moment I only have to park it in places where there are security guards, and I'll buy a chain when I find one.
It was jolly nice riding again.
