To continue Part I of the 5 Boro Bike Tour debrief, other hazards encountered during the day were people's water bottles that fell out of their cages. Your regular water bottle will not stay in your cage!!! You have to get one that is made of harder plastic that is an appropriate size.
There were a lot of potholes and grates that felt exceedingly bumpy as the day went on. Let's just say unless you bike more often than me, your @$$ will really hurt by the end of the day (it will be bruised) and so will your hands from leaning on the handlebars. It was so cold that a couple of my friends lost feeling in their hands at the end of the day.
All in all though, it was a really worthwhile experience and I can't wait to do it again next year (hopefully in better weather!)!
