Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

NY: tappan zee bridge

After an unsuccessfull search, can you actually cross the tappan zee bridge on a bike on a saturday morning?

On the NJ side, I've run into the onramp with frequency, but can you cross it?

BTW I'm not asking if you can hang with vehicles doing 55mph across a concrete expanse.

nope, the Thruway goes over the Tappan Zee and there's no walkway.

Nah, I understand completely why someone would refer to "the NJ side" of the Tappan Zee Bridge: growing up in Rockland County, you get really accustomed to people thinking of you...and, eventually, you thinking of yourself...as hailing from "northern New Jersey". Rockland definitely has more in common with Bergen County, NJ than with any New York county.
