When I lived there some of the most beautiful experiences I had were frequent Sunday morning walks in the Wall Street District. The streets were empty, silent, beautiful, and on sunny days the old granite buildings looked made of silver, the way they glowed. It was truly wonderful. |

It's funny hearing people here talk about riding in the city during the pandemic like my relatives do about riding a bike in the city ever. It's fine. Observe common sense and take it easy. During hurricane Sandy's blacked out aftermath a friend of mine and I rode from Grand Central to Wall St in 12 minutes. We blew thru all the police intersections with massive lights and averaged almost 18mph. One of the most unforgettable rides of my life.

Perhaps I am a bit biased because I live here.
But I think most of the responses here are based more on fear then on facts. It isn't like the virus is floating in the air, it comes from being in close proximity to other people. So I would say that as long as you are smart about it, i.e. just use common sense. Don't stop in any store for a snack, if you have to stop at a light stop far from other people (that won't really be there) then I think by all means you should be fine and you should do it. |

I've done it a few times. It's really empty until about 10am. Never forget cruising down almost the entire length of Broadway and then watching the sun rise over Brooklyn going over the bridge.

If you want to do something exciting why don't you bring you and your bike down here and help out the delivery people taking food to those that can't get out.
Or you can come to my apartment building and help me help the Meals on Wheels guy make the deliveries in my building. Just a few sick people here. I'll even give you a pair of surgical gloves. But no masks available. Sorry. Don't want to help? Stay home. We don't want you. |

No doubt.
But doubtless fewer virus particles. |

You sound cranky. Maybe a bike ride tomorrow to relieve the stress? It's supposed to be nice. As the man said, no snacks, keep your distance. It's the same as I'm doing up here.
