If riding dirt roads is your thing, you don’t have to go far from New York City to pursue your passion. Our region has dozens of miles of often scenic, usually challenging unpaved public roads easily accessible via commuter rail. Wonderful dirt multi-use trails can be found in the Bronx and just over the GWB.

Surprisingly enough, the NYC metropolitan area is blessed with fine mountain biking venues, both public trails and designated mountain biking parks.

Did you know that New York City is the closest large city to the Appalachian Trail? Well you do now. Not that it is acceptable to ride on the AT on designated hiking sections, but the AT follows some roads, the shoulders of which are the trail, so we do unknowingly ride on the AT at times.
