Just watched a fire engine salmoning on Queens Blvd (not the access road, but the highway itself). It was *awesome*. Beep beep, outta the way mf'ers!

In less awesome news, while going around one of the many trucks parked in the queens blvd "protected" bike lane, I failed to notice the flattened and very gory rat. Hopefully that comes out of my tires before I need to drag my bike inside for maintenance!

@Andres4NY FWIW: I once crashed #InlineSkating around a corner and turning onto CPW because... I hit a dead pigeon.

@roadskater I'll take "Things I wouldn't want to explain to a doctor" for $200, Alex
@Andres4NY Friends of mine think it was hysterical that I wiped out last year due to a banana peel in the bike lane.

Ewww.

Today I dodged a smushed pigeon. How is it that a pigeon hangs out on the road long enough to get run over. (!)
