The Friendliest Ghost You Know

Lindsay replaced her stolen bike early this year, and I replaced mine while visiting Seattle in March. The weather has been crappy enough since we got back that I have been unable to really take her out and ride.

Yesterday was beautiful, though, and I decided to check off a "Need to do before leaving New York" item and get a nice ride in by circumscribing the island of Manhattan. It was a 31 mile, nearly 3 hour ride with moments of awesome, irksome, and where-the-hell-am-I? And cell phone pictures!

The Awesome: A tall ship at the Southstreet seaport

Directly under the Brooklyn Bridge

A cherry tree by on the west side bike path

The Irksome:

Thanks, Manhattan, for the fantastic signage!

Where-the-hell-am-I?

The signage gets significantly worse the further north and east you are.

And lastly, my new ride: bought in Seattle, shipped to New York, and totally awesome

She's named Casper.
