Manhattan to Bronx via Cortland Park Greenway Tour

This tour is designed for New York cyclists who want to explore the scenic greenways of the Bronx while avoiding the hassle of navigating complex bike maps. Starting from Manhattan, the ride heads up the Westside Highway greenway and travels through Washington Heights to reach the Broadway Bridge. Cyclists then cross the bridge into the Bronx, enjoying stretches of traditional bike lanes before reaching Van Cortlandt Park. From there, the tour picks up another long greenway that leads to the Bronx River Parkway greenway, offering a smooth ride south toward Randalls Island. Along the way, riders will experience a mix of urban scenery and natural landscapes, perfect for those who enjoy both city and park views.

Once on Randalls Island, cyclists cross the "Randalls Island Connector" footbridge and follow another greenway that loops around the island, taking in river views and open spaces. The tour continues to the 102nd Street footbridge, which brings riders back into Manhattan. From there, participants follow a protected bike lane uptown along the East River Greenway, ultimately returning to 75th Street. This ride combines scenic parkways, historic bridges, and urban greenways, making it an enjoyable and accessible way to explore parts of New York City often overlooked by traditional tours.
