I also made a wrong turn at one point and ended up basically on a highway, so I walked the bike to the next light on the sidewalk and crossed back over to the other side to resume on the path. Wasn't comfortable street riding on a 55 MPH road just yet.
If you're in midtown, I'd suggest stopping in at City Bike Works (on K between 24 & 25) and ask them to make sure your tires are properly inflated. Oh, and make sure to log your miles for mayisbikemonth.com!
