2 or 3 laps of Central Park (6.2 ish mi p/lap) with those nice hills would take you the shake of a lambs tail! Plus, if memory serves, there's no car's in the park after 7:00 PM.

You're right, there are no cars in Central Park after 7PM (or before 6AM), they're all insanely driving around midtown Manhattan! I'd love to ride in the park (do it on the weekends), but the ride up and back is waaay too dangerous during rush hour. Can't take the bike on the subway either at that time.

Spazz- Are you originally from NYC?
