Brought my brommie from the Uk to new York a couple of times..Did the 5 Bor0 ride on 1st May..
and also the Tour de Bronx(highly recommend for photos of New york cops!) one October(canc last year) plus a lot of DIy cycling in the city..The grid system is great..You could tell i wasnt a local..Didnt run the red lights..Cycled the right way and not against the one way system.Didnt hold on to any cars. I.Must have been a foreiger! Theres a new yoprk cycle map yopu can download..maybe from transportation alternatives website..You can cycle all the bridges but you need to address them properly to avoid a stiff climb.The new york cycle map shows you how best to approach each bridge.Great place to cycle,,even Time Square had a bike lane.New York by bike is recommended.aint so sure about the ride from the airport cos my brompron just sat on my knee on the bus
