In all my travels across the Hudson, Connecticut, Charles, Indian - and more recently Fraser and McKenzie I've never actually ENJOYED the process - even though these expanses provide some of the most breathtaking of scenes, my amygdala is on far too high alert during these busy/narrow crossings to give the aesthetics anything but a passing nod.

How I'd love to lollygag my way upon a safely segregated section of the George Washington.
Yup. I've been across the GWB many times.....don't get to see much for the reasons you've stated. If they dedicated an entire traffic lane for bikes, I'd be all for a toll. Ain't gonna happen.
