Damn John, Very sorry to hear that -- and glad to hear you're not hurt. I frequent paths along both sides the Hudson, often as early as 6:00 - 6:30am. No doubt it was pretty much pitch black at that hour yesterday. I'd guess if your shop thinks your frame warrants a trip to Belinky they're likely correct -- those guys know what they're doing and aren't unfamiliar with Rivs, either.
Can't speak to the bottle throwing cyclist .. but I know what you mean.
