did a little daytrip commute to South Seaport from the West side around 20th. It was my wife's first foray into bike commuting in Manhattan so we rode the service road that runs east along part of 20th to the FDR and took the path down to South Seaport. We went to the Bodies Exhibition, which was extraordinary but left me wondering about where they got the bodies from so a bit unsettling (to say the least) with that regard. Then rode back taking the bike laned 9th street to 4th avenue and uptown that way. My wife loved riding in the city and handled it beautifully ( I was inwardly a bit aprehensive as her tour guide but tried not to let on).
