Pedestrians and motorists, watch out -- cyclists are abusing their ticket to ride!

Forty-one percent of two-wheeled travelers observed on a pair of SoHo bike lanes last week blew through red lights, pedaled the wrong way, zipped along the sidewalk or rode outside the lanes, a Post investigation found.

The lanes that intersect Lafayette and Prince streets got plenty of use -- 7,182 cyclists rode them between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. over five days last week.

But reporters saw 1,759 of those riders -- 24 percent -- running red lights, narrowly avoiding collisions with pedestrians and cars.

Anyone know of a shop that rents road bikes by the day in New Orleans?  Ideally, something in fairly close proximity to the Quarter.

Please meet your groups at the prearranged time and location.

Bring a waterproof jacket in case of rain.

it is raining in Manhattan between 7 & 9 AM.

If skies are threatening we may cut it shorter (Closter, N.J.=closer in Dutch lang.)

Today's B SIG ride to Armonk is on.  8:30 start from the Ramble Shed.

There might be a passing shower or T-storm, so bring your Metro North pass.  Our route has ample bail-out points, so we will be able to avoid riding in the rain for any extended period of time.

See you in the Park,

Wayne, for the B SIG leader team
