i rode on brooklyn, manhattan,williamsburgh,queensboro, gwb and BQE. the first four are no problem especially if traffic is heavy. on gwb i jumped the first grade but on second i pinched my rear tube and roce the rest flat. Once I took BQE at night from greenpoint to Maurice ave in queens (about 2 miles?) drunk. It took me about 5 minutes instead of 25min if i took grand ave. It's always very scary. dont do it.
