About
This tour is perfect for NY cyclists who want to explore the beautiful greenways in the Bronx. Navigating around the Bronx greenway network isn’t easy, but with this tour we make riding these greenways fun without reading bike maps. The tour travels up the Westside Highway greenway, through Washington Heights to the Broadway Bridge. Cross that bridge into The Bronx and ride on some traditional bike lanes until we get to Van Cortlant Park, where we will pick up another long Greenway that will take us all the way to the Bronx River Parkway greenway, where we will head South towards Randalls Island. Cross the "Randalls Island Connecter" footbridge onto the Island, where we will travel on another greenway around the Island and find the 102nd street footbridge.ride over that bridge into Manhattan and back to 75th street.
