Travel Itinerary

Begin Day 2 on the paved Bronx River Greenway, riding past restored wetlands and public art toward the NY Botanical Garden.

Warm up with cocoa while admiring winter conservatory displays; bikes park free outside.

Continue north to Westchester’s countryside; the paved trail ends at the monumental dam plaza—perfect picnic spot.

Back in Manhattan, take the subway to Brooklyn for an evening spin along the waterfront with glittering bridge views.

Day 3 starts on flat, paved paths around freshwater ponds and wintering seabirds in Jamaica Bay.

Cross the Marine Parkway Bridge for an ocean-side ride on smooth boardwalks and quiet military roads to WWII ruins and dunes.

Reward yourself with fish tacos and watch the sun dip over the Atlantic before heading back.

Ferry over with your bike, then roll the paved North Shore path past harbor vistas and new waterfront parks.

Cruise quiet lanes past Greek-revival buildings, art museums, and winter gardens.

Sweep along 2 miles of oceanside boardwalk to Midland Beach, watching winter waves and distant Verrazzano Bridge.

Return to Manhattan at dusk, then pedal the East River Greenway for sparkling bridge and skyline views to finish the day.

Begin the final day with a peaceful, car-free circuit of Brooklyn’s 3.5-mile park loop past frozen lakes and woodlands.

Follow America’s oldest bike path, a straight, tree-lined greenway from Prospect Park to the Atlantic.

Spin the historic boardwalk, snap photos of the snow-dusted Cyclone, and warm up with Nathan’s hot chocolate.

Celebrate the week’s miles with a classic NYC pie before an easy subway ride back to Midtown.
