Facebook group trouble?
Is anyone else able to access this? I click the links on the sticky message announcing the new page, and both go to 404 page not found.
Please be careful and courteous out there!
Social distancing is pushing runners and walkers out into the bike lane in Central Park (and presumably Prospect Park et al). This is a good thing - people are finally being careful - but it creates two new dangers. One, obviously we need to be more careful and slow down if necessary. Two, we need to be more tolerant. On my morning laps today I heard a fellow cyclist snap "Bike lane!" at a runner who was in the middle of "our" lane. Clearly the runner was just properly distancing herself from other runners she wanted to pass, and the a-hole on the bike was trying to pretend that nothing has changed. But things have changed - hopefully just for the next few months - and we have to adapt. Please be more careful and more tolerant out there.

Me: Is the bank open tomorrow?

Me: In New York? In Manhattan? Drive-in tellers?
Customer Service: Yeah.
