Are you referring to the Raritan River tow path? I would also be interested in knowing how other bicyclists fared on that. It's meant for bicycling; but the surface doesn't look too inviting.

Remember in my original post I mentioned that the Philadelphia drivers were noticibly more polite than the drivers in New York, for whom a stop sign is just as often ignored as honoured, and who regularly speed through intersections after a light has turned red. But one reads often about Boston drivers being more aggressive even than those in New York. Do you find this to be true?
