I saw lots of Muslims on today's bike ride
By Dave Winer on Saturday, August 21, 2010 at 9:30 AM.

A picture named espresso.jpgAnd Christians and Jews, athiests, agnostics. Men, women, boys, girls. Bike riders, walkers, runners. Tourists. No one seemed offended. Or in any hurry to get anyone away from anywhere in particular. It was a sweet, relatively quiet summer morning in NY.  permalink

I rode past the Fifth Avenue Apple Store and saw a huge number of people lined up. I asked what they were lined up for. iPhones. They were almost all, if not all, Asian. Many did not speak English. I asked why, now, after all this time -- they're lined up. I was told it's been this way ever since the product launched. I took pictures. permalink

The map. 13.5 miles, 1.5 hours. permalink
