From Whitestone you can get in some really nice rides around LI, where a super lock might not be as important as in NYC proper. I think a weekly unlimited metro card is now $27. Its good on all regular city buses and subways. from Whitestone you'll need to get a bus to the subway. Closest is the 7 train in Flushing. You'll find public transit from there sluggish (especially on weekends) but do able. And with a weekly unlimited card pretty cheap.
