Don't just keep an eye on the bikes...GUARD the Bikes
On Saturday afternoon around 4pm, my bicycle was stolen from the cafe on 104 and Riverside Park.
We stacked our bikes, as we normally do; kept a carefull eye on our bikes, as we normally do; had a few beers, as we normally do. It only took a minute of us not paying attention when someone walked away with my bike.
I've been on countless rides when there is a group of super expensive bikes just stacked against the outside of a deli wall while everyone is inside enjoying a well deserved lunch. We make it too easy for theives to take just one of those bikes.

Bike Fit
Looking for a good reccomendation in the city for a pro bike fit.....
A workable GWB alternative: Have PA motorcycle cops escort cyclists across on weekends.
Here's a perfectly workable idea that costs the PA nothing: Have a PA motorcycle policemen escort cyclists—one in front, one in the rear—across the bridge on Saturdays and Sundays: every hour on the half hour to NJ from, say, 8:30 to 3:30; and every hour on the hour to NYC from, say, 9:00 to 4:00. (...and if the numbers warrant it, maybe just at 7AM and 7:30AM to NYC and 6:00PM and 7:00PM to NJ on weekdays to accommodate commuters.) Does this impede cars and trucks? Not really: as you ride along the bike and ped path, you often see you are going faster than they are.
As for the stairs, I can't tell you how well hard plastic cleats grip hard smooth stairs. Oh, wait, yes I can: they don't. Slip and fall at your own risk.
