Every one gasses it up but it really is that good. Definitely stop by, coffee is really solid too

It all depends on you. I think you should walk around the area. Personally the heights looks fine to me. If you have doubt in the heights about safety, downtown is probably your only option.

The bike infrastructure in JC is decent and constantly improving. You have to be smart about which streets you ride on of course. The drivers here suck, so always ride defensively.

Reconstruction is needed regardless. The tunnels mid river are literally disintegrating.

I've been riding bikes in downtown JC for the past 12 years. It's got much better in the past few years with the PBL's starting to appear. North and South bike lanes are still shared with cars, so as long as you're comfortable with that it's fine. I recommend riding defensively, assume cars will not check their mirrors when turning, not yield to you in general, and entertain the possibility that cars will run stop signs. Hyper awareness and visibility is key.

Those curves are no joke. Especially when the PATH reaches the New York side of the river: Google Maps shows a beeline from JC to Christopher Street, but in reality, the line first goes to Morton Street (you can actually see the vents if you go there), then it makes a very sharp turn north onto Washington Street, and then another very sharp turn to head east onto Christopher Street. If you want to speed up trains then a full on reconstruction of the tunnel will be needed.

greenville is okay if close to the light rail that can get you to exchange place in ~15 min and to lower manhattan in ~35min. crime is all over the city, dont let this sucker you into paying more than is comfortable for you. South JC is improving rapidly and becoming safer. sharing the latest public safety review here for ref:

Pay attention to all the turns the trains makes on your next trip. Even a small short curve has speed limits to prevent derailments.

Depends where you are riding.
Never had anything serious happening to me. Some close calls, yes.
Get a nice lock (no cable locks).
I bought and always serviced my bike at Grove Street Bicycles on Columbus Dr. Can't go wrong with them.

Stay out of downtown. Look at MLK and Ocean area -- affordable, up-and-coming, plenty to do.

I don't own a car so I bike to work and for all my errands. I've been doing this for the past few years mostly on streets without any bike infrastructure. After a while you learn which streets to avoid but I've found most of them to be comfortable enough and the protected bike lane network has been steadily growing the past few years.
I've used the Jersey City Bicycle Company who have provided amazing service.

Yet still a better investment than 10b on highway extension
