Thank you all
I appreciate all the input and will have to check out this bike friday thing. I had never heard of it.
As for the Bridge when it's closed I go up the stairs in Port Authority and wait for a bus and then beg the driver to let me on. They kind of have to but they can make me put it in the area on the side of the bus and then it gets thrown around in that cubby hole and can do some damage. The only other option is to take a train all the way back to my job then take another train to 42nd street and take a bus from there getting me home around three in the morning, ouch.
