Well, Hudson river is an obstacle to me. I would not try biking through the tunnell(s) and the GWB is way too far.

I have to be at work around 6:30 am (7am the latest) and I usually get out around 8pm (worst cases 11pm). So, an hour commute is a problem. Especially tired after a day of "heavy lifting" and riding along-side New Jersey drivers.

That's the plan, actually.
Warning - my next post is going to be a rant...
