Hey Pete,

I think this is a great idea for a website. If people follow your lead, the posts should be really interesting and meaningful.
on the strike:
I think it's times like these when you really get a sense of nyc. I've been biking everywhere for the past few days, and i've seen some pretty crazy scenes. Yesterday i watched as a pedicab slammed into a woman crossing the street. And just a few hours ago i saw an argument between a cabby and a biker explode and fists start to fly. These were intense, sad situations to witness, yet in both instances, the good side of new york really came through. When the woman was hit, everyone around her immediately rushed to help. She couldn't get up, so they kept the traffic away from that part of the street until the police showed up. And when the fight erupted, it was quickly broken up by onlookers. It was really nice to see that despite these really stressful circumstances, the humanity of new yorkers remained intact.
