Manhattan Bridge

I just read How The Hell Do You People Ride With No Brakes? and instead of thread jacking I'm starting a new thread. I rode into Manhattan from Brooklyn over the Manhattan Bridge this morning and whenever I do this, I try to go down that last little steep part of the ramp without touching my brake, but I can't do it for fear of riding out of control into the intersection. Is this not difficult for others to do? Do I just need to get stronger or braver? I haven't done the Williamsburg Bridge on my fix yet, but I remember that being even worse. Been riding fixed for about 4 months. Sorry to make this so NYC specific!
