How steep is that hill.....
Should I just walk instead?

it may take a while to find the best options but it won't be that bad.
I know, so I think I will bike to 59th street and take one of these N/R/Q Train, of course, if I am up to it.... I would like to bike home as well, I don't mind take a little bit longer. And I think it's easier to go home, since it is down hill ride for the most part!

I almost crash on the bridge the other day, these people just back up to take the pictures, it is quite dangerous. I think maybe the new routes suggested by you guys will help greatly.
Thank you very much, everybody. I will update on Saturday night on the feed back of my trip, and hopefully practice until Fall start I could do this daily.
