Hey NYCJohn,
I Google mapped Intrepid Museum .org and took a walk around 12 avenue. Is it a good place to bicycle with what appears to be a bike lane along the docks? Street veiw was taken in the summer so I can only guess that it is a damp cold in the winter with ice?

Here it was -7 on the way in and with the increase in daylight I have removed my helmet light but still use the rear flashy thing.
