- I want to know how to act so I don't hold things up. Do bikes wait their turn or do they ride between vehicles because that's what everybody wants to happen? I'm a stop at stop signs kind of guy when on the road and attempt to follow rules but if that would just grind the city to a halt I want to do what the natives do. Some riders wait for the green. Most will stop/slow down; look both ways and go if safe.
- Anything else? Good routes that start from around the airport? http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/bicyclists/bikemaps.shtml

Thanks in advance.
