Bicyclists Have Trouble Reaching Bike-friendly Bridge

"New York City's bicyclists love the newly restored bike and pedestrian pathway over the Manhattan Bridge. Really, they do. But in the five weeks since the path opened, most cyclists have concluded that reaching it from the surrounding streets ranks somewhere between a headache and a nightmare ? even worse than the gnarly Brooklyn-side approach to the Brooklyn Bridge, which requires crossing as many as 15 lanes of traffic.And they wonder why the city, which has made all three East River bridges between Brooklyn and Manhattan accessible to the carless for the first time in 40 years, did not also make the bridges a little easier to get to."
