Sounds like you had an exceptional experience, having seen more crashes in one week than I see in years of living here. And I promise you, I spend a lot more time on foot and on bike in the city than you do.

Then either you're used to the mayhem and aren't seeing it, or you mostly stay away from where I was (between Houston and 42nd St mostly).

Regardless, are you really saying that "bikes are simply better at point-to-point transportation" for most people in Manhatten? Because that's absurd.

That's exactly where I live and work. I dunno what to say, you had an exceptional experience. That's not my lived daily experience at all.

And yes, I would say it's best for most people in Manhattan. It would be even better if we build more bike lanes and get more cars off the road.
