Last thursday when we had the big blackout, I picked up 4 people at 116th street and brought them to times square, then picked up 4 more and brought them uptown. I'd pick people up, but only in NYC. Also, I would never hitch-hike myself, unless I was close to death.

In the late 60's and early 70's I hitched lots of rides, met lots of interesting people........ oh I miss the good ole' days....

I hitched once. We got our truck stuck a couple of miles in the woods. Walked out to a two lane deadend road in the middle of nowhere, probably 5-6 miles from a real highway and 30-40 miles from a city of any size. Luckily some hippy dude picked us up and drove us all the way back to town. Then we had to get a second truck, drive all the way back, and pull the first one out. I hve had to bum rides (yes, plural) from strangers before when our boat broke down, pulled into one landing and had the get a ride back to the landing we were parked at, but that is a little different.

i know a woman who had a flat tire and a guy helped her out and he wanted a ride somewhere. She told the man she couldnt take him anywhere. When the woman got home she found a rope and a shovel in the trunk.

I would do it only if it was absolutly nessesary, such as, no ride home from woodstock

Nah, man. Just being a helpful NY'er.

Pyro, yes there are, but you can trust most of em in NYC. We used to have a homeless guy named Bill that lived in a dumpster watch our cars from theives and stuff like that for 2 bucks a day. He saved for 3 months and made like 1 grand. He moved to Arizona I think.
