Hey, Mr. KnowzAllTheBikewaysInNewYork -- there's no such thing as
Cypress Hills Road! There is a Cypress Hills Street, but that's out of
the park, in the cemetary next door!

Do you have better coordinates?

From what you said -- by Ridgewood, by east-bound Jackie R., paved path
-- I gather it's that 2/5 of a mile stretch ringing the western edge of
Forest Park Golf Course. It starts by a parking lot, and ends in a
small playground in Glendale, Queens.

There were lots of twigs and such debris on the path, which isn't "new"
though it's still in fairly good condition. It seemed pretty well used
during the waning winter afternoon hour I was there -- I saw a family,
a bicyclist, a jogger, and a hiker -- though it's a bit out of the way
in relation to the park as a whole. Glendale is a nice working class
area, like how Queens used to be, for the most part, and the Ridgewood
beyond the parking lot where this path starts (or ends, depending on
your origin, of course), along Park Lane South, is the nicer part of
it, too, with tidy private houses and kept-up lawns.

This has got to be what you saw in passing while driving along the
Jackie R. It's actually a path that's been around for a few years now,
though.

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you -- my neighbor's WiFi
signal isn't very predictable these days!

It appears to skirt Forest Park, off the Jackie Robinson (formerly
Interboro) Parkway. I found it on the NYC Bike Map, and others have told me
a little about it. I'd like to add it to my web site, so I'll need to know
exactly where it begins and ends, how long it is, how suitable it is for
"casual riders" (the audience for the site), and if there are any special
attractions it passes. Also, for myself, I'd like to know if the streets
around it are good for biking, as I'd like to make it part of my personal
Queens route, which usually takes in the Cross Island Bikeway, all of
Flushing Meadow Park, the Flushing Bay Promenade, and some streets in
Elmhurst, Astoria, and LI City leading to the Queensboro Bridge.

Ultimately, I'll check it out myself, but if you'd like a credit on the site
for being the first brave soul to report back on this path, go for it!
