How would one cross the Hackensack river?

The obvious driving solution would be down Rt 3 past the meadowlands, over the Hackensack River, etc. But I'm curious if you do find a good route, just for information sakes. I avoid most of Bergen county cause of the density and the plethora of traffic.

I, myself work in Wayne but I live NW of Wayne and I'm able to bike on trails and water lines to work. I have a hard time thinking that there would be a good route to Montclair from Hoboken but wish you the best of luck. Perhaps there is some way you can do a PATH-bike link since Hoboken is pretty much PATH train central. I think "Boonton" line will get you close to Montclair and stuff but I think it might be a small line that runs to NYC in the morning and away from NYC in the evenings, not what you want unless you work nights.
