Rode in again today, took a much more mellow route through side streets, over the Manhattan Bridge, then up 3rd Ave. I leave the bike in the garage where I usually park the car(hopefully the car commuting will be much more limited), they take 10 bucks, beats 30 to park the car. I ain't about to lock my bike up outside the building. I think maybe it's crazy to use an expensive bike (specialized Roubaix) to commute, but right now it's what I have, and boy do I love the ride.
