Bike to Work Day Open Thread

How was your ride to work today? Bike traffic on the Manhattan Bridge seemed heavier than usual. After I took a few pictures of the Sands Street bike path, I got onto the bridge approach with a platoon of about a dozen people on bikes. At the end of the bridge, an apple from the TA breakfast table really hit the spot. Later I overheard this snippet in the elevator: "It's like national ride-your-bike-to-work day."

If you’ve got pictures of bike traffic you want to share, tag them “streetsblog” on Flickr or tell us about them via Twitter — @StreetsblogNYC.
