This is our bike route from yesterday. It took exactly 5 hours with a break for lunch, 2 short repair stops and the occasional photo opportunity. Not bad.
It was one of the best days I’ve had in NY. I discovered so many new places I want to go back and visit.
Last summer, I biked along the Westside and into Central Park - and I’ll echo Lauren’s remarks- it was a great way to explore the city!
Initially, I was not thrilled at the idea of riding among NYC traffic, but it really wasn’t a big deal. I definitely plan to take another ride around the city before summer’s end!
I’d love to do this before the summer ends.
Did almost this exact loop with my roommate last year. We did our best to circumvent the city, but it get’s a little tricky in Harlem, you need to cut in a little bit.
Second only to the night a few years ago, while at Mad River on 86th and 3rd at 1:00 am, we decided that we were bored and walked from there to Battery Park. Got there around 4:30, bought a strawberry shake at the McDonald’s down there, and took the ten minute cab ride back to where the walk originated.
