SRO on the LIRR (new podcast)

Recently I needed to take my son home on the Long Island Rail Road on a work day.

Of course, that was the first day in a long time that there was signal trouble. Several of the tracks were out of commission. There were delays. Express trains were cancelled and combined with local trains, making for crowded conditions.

And of course, you get to see the best (and worst) of your fellow commuters in these situations. This week, a story about someone with bad behavior.

Also, a segment where I try to determine if I am merely thrifty or a stubborn cheapskate.

Bike NYC (new podcast)

Some nice words about the Bike NYC program which teaches kids a way to ride bicycles.

Except of course when it's part of a Bike Bonanza with 3,000 adult cyclists in 90 degree temperatures.

Plus a story about rude commuters and a short cat update.
