I really wish I had a car up here, because there are some nice bike trails (a few rail-trails and the Erie Canal Towpath). There's a shared-use path, but as the part closest to me goes through a really bad part of town (shame, because the park is beautiful), it's "use at your own peril".
I have my rack with me, and BF and I have been looking at a car-sharing program, so we might be able to take advantage of some of these trails. I do have some of my undergrad institution's club's routes (and I've sent an e-mail asking for more), so we'll see. I'm modifying them as much as possible to avoid a thoroughly terrifying intersection. People who live here find it confusing! I also have a 20-mile route that a charity ride here uses.
(Well, it's actually 15, but my riding to its start point makes it 20.)
