I've spent the last 3 years riding in NYC, and I found that taxis are the least dangerous species on the road there. Being a taxi driver in a grid structured city is one of the most boring jobs imaginable, and most NYC cabbies seem to be pretty zombified and sedate, or at least predictable. Of course about 70% of the vehicles in Manhattan are taxis, so if you have a random conflict with anyone, chances are good that it's going to be a taxi. The one thing that's scary about taxis is that they have extra long passenger doors and people keep throwing them open without looking, so there are lots and lots of doorings.

RichC a cyclists main enemy in that city is a Taxi. So Specialized design and marketing team decided to make their bike look just like one!
this is the way most of nyc feels. specialized might do a lot of research into the mechanics and engineering of bikes, but when it comes to the sales aspect they need some better reps.
