So today I had yet another unique NYC experience!  I was walking home from Crunch Gym, one of my new jobs here in town, and all of a sudden, directly to the right of me, a cabbie hits a bicycler with his cab!  No worries, the bicycler got right up and luckily was somewhat thrown from the bike, but the bike was not so lucky and was wedged underneath the front of the cab.  Immediately the bicycler confronted the cabbie who got out of the car immediately to make sure the man was alright.  I called 911 and reported the accident and waited for the police to arrive.  The bicycler was screaming at the cabbie who was on his hands and knees trying desperately to unwedge the bike from underneath the car, who yelled back at him.  The bicycler wanted the cabbie to buy him a new bike, the cabbie said he couldn’t do that because he worked for a company and there were insurance technicalities.  The cabbie was asking for my help to un wedge the bike while the bicycler was yelling at me not too.  ALL THE WHILE people were gathering and grouping and watching and VIDEOTAPING & TAKING PICTURES!  Such CRAZINESS!!!  Well, the police showed up, and they managed to coerce the cabbie into forking over $50 for the bike and everyone went away slightly fazed, but calm. 

As for the NYC weather!!!  I was sitting in my apartment when I heard this thunderous wind pounding outside so I look out the window and the trees pounding back and forth and poor little rollar-bladers holding onto a nearby fence for dear life.  So I did what anyone would do…I went out and played in it….but only for awhile because the wind was INSANE.  I got pictures of the Hudson River from across the street for everyone to enjoy.  🙂
