NYC in the 60s was fine. That was before bike messengers.

The courtesy you get depends on how many bikes the drivers have seen
before you that day. If it's none, you get all sorts of consideration.

This is why you ought to be stamping out bike commuting, not encouraging
it. It leaves you as the only rider. People give you a friendly wave,
who pass you every day.
