Open Thread: How Was Your Commute?

##http://twitter.com/#!/howiewolf##Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson## reported a smooth ride to work.

Please, talk amongst yourselves.

Addendum: Central Park is the domain of pedestrians and cyclists until further notice (h/t @mikepstein).

So, when will the rest of Streetsblog’s 2011 April Fools […]
