Isn't it funny how the view v. the direct route is such a continual concern in the city? I recently came to the conclusion that I preferred flow over anything else: when I get off of the subway, I often choose the emptiest staircase, just to avoid the crowd, even if it means I'll have to re-cross the road later. Path of least resistence is my attitude.

See what you've done genericbikedude? This is what you get when you ask a New Yorker for directions. People here LOOOOVE that ****!

(I don't have an opinion on W. Side biking routes, but get back to me when you want to know the quickest subway routes (my girlfriend lives in Harlem, I live in Brooklyn. )
