Biking the Five Boroughs

So it looks like I'm going to do the Five Boroughs Bike Tour. I thought it would be cool to bike around new york, but always had visions of myself getting splattered into a million pieces. Thus, a 30,000 people bike tour is the perfect solution. I figure if i'm somewhere in the middle of that mass of people, they'll have to splat a whole layer of people before getting to me. Boroughs is a funny word, makes me think of small woodland creatures, mules, and beatnik poetry. What a combination.
