North and South River Parkway – Croton Point ParkĪ good 30-ish mile ride from northern Manhattan up through Van Cortlandt Park along the beautiful and paved North and South River Parkways lands you at Croton Point Park, a 508-acre park that has facilities for camping, hiking and swimming. Also, Floyd Bennett Field is right next door to Fort Tilden and Jacob Riis Beaches – go for a swim! (arriving by bike gives you the chance to scout out your ideal spot of sand. It’s about a 15 mile ride from downtown Manhattan. In Floyd Bennett Field, there are areas to fish, hike and bike.

As you pedal towards City Island, you’ll pass through Pelham Bay Park, the largest recreation area in the City, so make sure to build some time into your ride if you want to explore! For a more relaxed ride, try the West Side Greenway up Manhattan and then link up with the Mosholu Parkway Greenway in Van Cortland Park and then to the Bronx and Pelham Parkway. If you’re craving some delicious seafood and some fishing-village charm, take a day trip to City Island. From start to finish this path extends about 13 miles.

New York City provides some awesome riding but WE can’t help but think about planning some summer day and weekend trips on two wheels! Looking ahead to days when the temps will be boiling and you will be stuck behind a giant truck’s exhaust waiting for a green light, your mind might already have started to wander to peddling on beautiful and peaceful trails or out of New York City completely. Bike season is here!! The city has come alive and the streets are teaming with cyclists.
