Long Island

The north end of the island offers hilly terrain while the south, flatter, more windswept expanses.

Getting through Queens to the good stuff may seem an impediment, however there are some fun

ways through the borough. Riding back all the way through Queens in the afternoon can be a drag—

one might consider taking the subway home from Flushing or Jamaica. 

      

New York City

New York City we need not go far to find challenging rides and a different atmosphere. The City offers a diversity of terrain from the familiar Central and Prospect Park loops, to the cobbles of Red Hook, on to the sharp hills of Staten Island. Be adventuresome and explore the exotic neighborhoods of Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Be aware of the network of bike paths in NYC.
