With the cold weather only getting colder, this is as close as you’ll get to riding your bike through a field of wildflowers. Just remember to slow down before you hit the strip of ice at the bottom of the bridge.

A fire is causing people to be evacuated from a B train on the Brooklyn side of the Manhattan Bridge. According to a police officer on the scene, engine trouble caused a fire in the first car. According to a firefighter on the scene, the toxic smoke smelled like barbecue.
