Your bad weather bike has Red components bro...
I'm not a baller anymore. I ride what works.
Haha, force, was rival. Once you ride the nice stuff it is hard to step down.

Ok, I have a red rear shifter on the pink
Most of Fort Lee is resident only parking. They have those really lengthy green signs up everywhere. Kidzach, I think you parked to the South of GWB, near the entrance to Henry Hudson Drive. There are some spots there by the bus stop, but as you mentioned it's a climb back up to GWB. It is still Fort Lee there, but they don't have signs up.
Most of Englewood Cliffs streets has free parking for up to 48 hours, but you will likely have to park in front of someone's house.
Corner of Sylvan and Irving, Englewood Cliffs, NJ. There is an empty lot in the corner so you're not in front of someone's house. Matty, you may want to look into this as well if you don't want to do the climb up from my house. I will check the signs there to see what's going on.

There is also a little park on the corner of Irving and W. Bayview:

Thanks for the tips and support guys, much appreciated. I've made it in 3/4 days so far this week and it's been awesome. I'll post some pics pretty soon. In the meantime I would like to share this..........
Half the fun of riding the bike to work is when my co-workers walk in the door dressed like they are going on a National Geographic expedition to Antarctica and having them see my bike parked in the office. Then they look at me, look at the bike, look back at me in disbelief and proceed to comment.
My favorite quotes of the day relating to my bike ride:
1) "You actually rode your bike to work today?!?!?!? You're nuts!!!"
2) "What the hell is wrong with you?"
3) "Dude, you're an animal"
and my favorite
4) "I will never doubt your resolve to do ANYTHING!"
I just hope I can pull it off tomorrow morning.......it's supposed to be a cold one

Hey Matty, I usualy roll around 6-6:15.My destination is 133rd and Convent.As Sounds said just about every st I checked out in Ft. Lee has those resident signs everywhere.It seems where I parked south of the bridge was ok to park.It was across from Rusty Kales bar where I may have to check out one day.It seems it is Edgewater down there, as far as the electric/telephone poles are concerned.I'll most likely tough it out in the mornings on my full squish back up mtn bike for now.Those meters near the bridge are not enough hours to park and the meters on the way down from Rt 95 to Hudson Terr. are full by 6am.Thanks for your input gents.

It's made by Lynskey if that makes any difference.
Figured as much, still a kona
That was the most awesome or worst commute in to date. It was awesome for me cause i had to really stay on my toes. Surprising the bridge was open. Check my resources and even drove by the gate to completely make sure it was open. After riding across much of the bridge and being blown all over the place, i stopped to take a pic.
Working late like real late tonight so i may not even go home, so may do laps in the am tomorrow before work if i sleep here at the job.
