As a matter of fact, I did ride through the eclipse. It occurred during my commute time from work to grad school. I walked out of work and to the public bike rack and saw that my rear tire was flat. There was a crowd in front of the library (across from the elementary school where I work) watching the eclipse. I got to chat with the kids and their parents, and that was nice. When my flat was fixed, I rode off. I work in the Bronx where coverage was said to be 90.4% or something like that. It didn't really get very dark.
We traveled to Missouri in 2017 and saw the total eclipse. That was a lot of fun.
