May 22, 2003: Triboro
The Triboro Bridge is largely a mystery to me. Connecting the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx, and crossing Randall/Ward Island, the Triboro seems remote from my daily life. I decided to change all that by skating over the seldom used bike path this past Sunday, which turned out to be an amazing trip. From the north path you got a great view of the Hell's Gate bridge and the Bronx. Fun fact: there was a sign that said "absolutely no photographs" and a bunch of similar things, but I think that was about taking pictures of the bridge, not from the bridge.

Why wouldn't they allow you to take photographs of the bridge??
I'm sure it has to do with security concerns, post-September 11th ... especially considering the construction on the Triboro. Bridges, subways, tunnels, are often cited as the target of another terrorist attack.
