Welcome, AF. I worked 40 years at Brooklyn College till retiring last April. Would bike commute from SW Nassau county, I was lucky I could leave my car at the college, bike 27 miles home, return in morning. Used the Bedford bike lane to Mill Basin, then the path to Flatbush, over the bridge to the Rocks, then along the boardwalk. It was a wonderful commute, sure beat sitting in traffic on the Belt. Some times after work, I would head head to Prospect Park and do a few laps. Brooklyn is not a bad place to ride, especially after the city started adding so much cycling infrastructure. If we could only get the cops to ticket cars and trucks parked in the bike lanes.
