Bronx River Parkway Bicycle Sundays - Recap
Sunday, September 18, 2022 - Recap
A beautiful, relaxed, largely car-free ride…
43 miles (or 33 miles w/ subway from the N. Bx.)
Sunday, September 18, 2022
[This ride IS skinny tire friendly!]
Every summer the Westchester County government does "Bicycle Sundays" where they close down a portion of the Bronx River Parkway for a few hours every Sunday so it can be used by cyclists and pedestrians.
We'll ride streets & the Harlem River Greenway to the Old Putnam / South County Trail in Van Cortlandt Park, ride across Palmer Road to the Bronx River Trail and take that up to where the parkway has been closed in Tuckahoe. We'll then ride the full length of the closed section of the parkway up to White Plains. At that point we can either turn around and go back down the parkway or change over to the Bronx River Trail for something different. We'll then continue down the Bronx River Trail to Bronxville, do surface streets through Mount Vernon, and pick the Bronx River Trail back up in the Bronx and ride it down to Concrete Plant Park at which point there's about 3 miles of riding on surface streets to get to Wards & Randalls Island. The 2 train and the 6 train are an option in the Bronx for people who want to cut the ride a little short.

There is a small section of relatively pristine gravel that is skinny tire friendly. Otherwise all the trails are paved. The pace will be 15± mph, though we'll often be going slower on multi-use trails.
