My semi annual trip to eastern PA is very near. I would like to make a trip to NYC as a sightseeing/biking gig. I have checked out Transportation Alternatives website which I liked and it was very informative. But I would like to know where to go for the great NYC rides around the city. Also any info on what to avoid, must sees, and possibly how to handle panhandlers would be appreciated. I would like to NOT look like a tourist, so help would be nice in this area. I went out to Wyoming a year ago wearing my normal Florida garb and felt like a moron because I did not have on my Cowboy Hat/ shirt/pants/ or boots. I don't do traffic very well as there is none where I ride here. Thanks for all your help. I admire you guys dealing with all that traffic up there. wfin2004
