I live in Oceanside, so that’s why

When I’m going somewhere at least at Smith St or North, then yeah I get off Atlantic on Bayview to Archer St, and then use Ocean to get to Brooklyn Ave, which becomes Broadway, zigzag from N Columbus to Grand, get to Babylon Tpk at CCDC, go over the bridge, and then get on Smith St.
Best east/west route in SW Nassau is Hendrickson in Lynbrook which becomes Lakeview which becomes Seamon, then Babylon Tpk. over the Meadowbrook and Smith St east, becomes Grand in Merrick. The up Old Mill to Park and east then up to Cark. That's the length of Nassau almost, avoids the high traffic routes like Merrick and Sunrise. Sometimes you have to bike north to access this, but worth it.
