What I want is a way to travel between here and there that's 100% just riding my bike. I already am able ot take my bike on the train, and I don't see the purpose in getting off early just to ride a few extra miles. Broad Street and Montclair are only 3 miles apart or so, so it wouldn't represent anything but a little exercise and some time.

There are theoretically two ways I could get to Montclair: via Meadowlands/Seacaucus/Rutherford or North Bergen, or via Newark up to Bloomfield. That's why I was asking about Newark.
