Local police precincts have had periodic crackdowns on Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Avenues in Chelsea and Midtown so I would strongly advise against riding the wrong way -- even in the bike lanes. Fines can run as much as $150 for going the wrong way or runing a red light and also count as violations on a NYS driver's license.
