Again, thanks for the advice and sympathy, everyone. I don't want to overgeneralize NJ drivers, but I think the abiding sense of danger I feel when riding in Hudson/Bergen is more a matter of incredibly congested and poorly maintained roads than ill intent. There's a ton of great riding in other parts of the state, and the drivers are mostly friendly.
Finally: I always wondered why Rivendell emphasized the strength and safety of their bikes. I get it now. This would've been so much worse on CF bike.
