Also, if anyone knows a good place to have work done on our bikes, that would be a big help.
I look forward to meeting up sometime!

Welcome to Jersey! I'm in JC as well and just got my license about a month ago. I know exactly what you mean... there's no place around us w/o a ton of traffic. If I just want a quick ride, I'd do a few laps around Liberty State Park then a few rips down Caven Point Rd. If you want something more scenic, I'd suggest going up to the West New York/Edgewater region and take River Rd or JFK Blvd. Great views of the NYC skyline and you'll see a TON of bikers along the way. If you stop by the Starbucks at Edgewater Commons, you'll be sure to run into a few riders on their way up to Bear Mountain.
Also need to find a place to have work done on our bikes. I stopped by what should be 2nd Street Cycles (off Newark Ave) and I think they're closed- no signs outside and all their phones have been disconnected. I did, however, ask a local and he mentioned he saw a bunch of bikes inside the garage.
I need an oil change badly...
