yeah - i agree its NYC - its expected in any Big City - i take to the roads when i can - it all depends - with all the construction going on here - everywhere - and people - its a back and forth type of thing - road - sidewalk etc -
cant help it - you have to move around - once i get across - its better as i go further up North of the City - towards the GWB i will do soon one day to test the pack - miles etc, - but even there its not going to be empty streets - you have the bikes back and forth -
if i lived up north - where theres homes and quiet area etc, - yeah then its better in terms of roads etc, - but then its also DEAD - no where to go - etc, - for a wheel chair user - you want to be in the city - its freedom - i can go out and go to central park in 15 mins - or any other dozens of parks around the city - i go to shows - so many things - and go back home easily with the chair - alone if i wish or with company -
but its crowded - everyone wants to be here - so alot of people - i try to avoid as much as i can - but only so much you can avoid - trust me you bring your chairs here - they wont last 10 years riding in the city
going out in a few to a BBQ in a Park - it would be very boring if i didnt live in the city to be honest - i can get up and just go now - but if lived in the Sticks somewhere - where would i go ? outside the front door and then what - no where -
as much as i didnt like the city before when i drove my car - its different once in a chair -
