Is anyone coming from Jersey (Jersey City)? I'm trying to plan ahead, wondering what the commute via PATH will be like that day (I'm imagining 10,000 bikes on the PATH train). Also, coming home, is it best to wait for the ferry to get to the PATH at WTC, or just bike over the Bayonne Bridge and up the Boulevard?

Also, can anyone recommend a good place to meet friends in Lower Manhattan prior to the event? I'm hoping to catch up with a friend or two from Manhattan, but I'm worried there's no way we'll find each other. Are certain streets closed off and uncrossable (even by bike)?
