Has anyone seen this before who works in Midtown? I'm getting out of work and walking to the subway near 33rd and Park Avenue and some jogger comes flying around the corner and knocks over an older woman exiting the subway station, who proceeds to get after her for running on the sidewalk.
I thought it was a rare occurrence when only 2 days later coming from work another jogger (headband and all) is alternating between jogging in the bike lane and the sidewalk weaving in an out of people up 7th Avenue near Penn Station. During rush hour... You'd think common sense would tell them not to jog in Midtown during rush hour with the sidewalk teeming with thousands of people trying to get home but apparently not. He probably also crashed into someone given the density of people in that area at that time.
It's already hard enough to walk, let alone jog down the sidewalks around there.
I guess they figure they'll get even more exercise/endorphins because they have to dodge all those other pedestrians whose only ambition in life is to get fat instead of exercise and get all slim 'n' sexy like themselves.
Sidewalk joggers are a holes.
I always jog in the street, park, bike lane, etc, but never the sidewalk.
Road pavement is actually physiologically better to run on then rock hard concrete sidewalk.
Sidewalk bikers suck also.
A jogger ran into me at WTC during rush hour. He tried to shove me aside but I gave him a punch in the solar plexus.
Wow! Shoving aside pedestrians? That takes a lot of nerve. This is what large city parks are for, plus it's better to run on gravel or grass than pavement.
My passive aggressive revenge for the a hole bikers I encounter while driving, or the a hole bikers who insistent on biking on the pedestrian side of the manhattan bridge.
I always thought it was ridiculous for anyone to jog in midtown on the sidewalks/streets.. Especially, during rush hour.
Now, I've jogged down Park Ave before.. but, it has always been at 11pm or later.
People who are doing it in the middle of the day or during rush hour are just doing it to be noticed.. and that = ghey.
