Too many buses.

Another fast return ride.
I should say, it was fast only after I got past Liberty St. stop where the chain guys come out to keep the pedestrians safe. It was a sea of buses there. I haven't seen anything like that. All coach and MTA buses. I re-learned a valuable lesson, though and that's to stay to the left until I pass the chain guards. Of course I was stuck behind the one bus that actually makes its stop at the chains.
Once that was over I was on a quick and solid course. It was more-than-drizzling/not-quite-raining as I made my way north. I couldn't tell if I was riding it to it or if it was just passing by. But somewhere near midtown south it was all over.
There are still too many other cyclists, joggers and pedestrians using the bike lane in the opposite direction and it's just another accident waiting to happen. I wasn't in a mad rush to get to the train, as I had plenty of time so I had enough time to break for things like this.
One woman kept creeping up on me on her bike and saying nothing. I made it a point to dash out in front because I don't want any tailgaters.
Ran my lunchtime 5K in a hair over 22 minutes -- of course there was a truck and its wide-load counterpart embarking from the piers as I was making my way from under the bridge. Of course. I had a similar cramp situation again, not as potent and it may be because I'm eating a balance bar too soon before the run. We'll see if that changes if I have my sports drink instead.
Thank you for reading.
