From the Hudson River bike path heading north, cross Dyckman Steet and enter Dyckman Fields Park.

You will need to roll your bike in the track as you walk up the steps or shoulder your bike over the rail road overpass. 

Signs on the Henry Hudson Bridge say no bike riding permitted. Does that mean on the roadway or bike path...?

Manhattan College Parkway is a wonderful hill.

The Old Putnam/County Trailways in Van Cortlandt Park is soon to be paved... still holding your breath?

This is an interesting ramble through the Bronx from the Central Park Boathouse via Randall’s Island connector to City Island with return to Manhattan via the High Bridge. The route takes advantage of many greenways through Soundview, Pugsley and Pelham Bay Parks. The loop around the SUNY Maritime Campus beneath the Throg’s Neck Bridge is spectacular.

An easy, flat ride thru Brooklyn neighborhoods to Shirley Chisholm Park. Bring snack food and picnic in the park or on one of its piers. This is a recently renovated park with lovely trails (some paved, some gravel) down to the waterfront and a couple of piers. There are also picnic tables and porta sans in various locations. Check out the map of the park:  https://parks.ny.gov/parks/attachments/ShirleyChisholmShirleyChisholmStateParkMap.pdf.

Ride starts and ends at the Statue of Eleanor Roosevelt at Riverside Drive & W. 72nd St. Although it uses several greenways and bike paths, it is not a flat ride and there are a couple of short, steep hills. But don't let that intimidate you. It's a lovely route through parts of New York City you don't normally ride through. Lunch is at Johnny's Wharf at the end of City Island. Ice cream can be had on the way out of town at Lickety-Split.
