New York, Central Park rides?
Hello,
Have any New York cyclists here ridden in Central Park? I did a little research on the park, and I'm surprised how expansive it is. Regards, Cullen Carter Appleton, WI |

Regards, Cullen Carter Appleton, WI Last April we were in NYC and rented bicycles and rode around Manhattan. * *There are very good bicycle paths and routes through most of the city, including Central Park, except for a stretch near the UN. The cheapest rentals I found were at "http://pedalpusherbikeshop.com/articles/rental-information-not-may-3r...". Unfortunately, the rentals are not well-maintained, but they were not horrible either. How far did you go in central park? On a scale of 1-10, how bike- accessible would you say New York is? regards, Cullen |

How far did you go in central park? On a scale of 1-10,
how bike-accessible would you say New York is? =v= Thanks to years of activism, Central Park's main loop is carfree for most of the day. =v= H.G. Wells said that cycle tracks abound in Utopia. If Utopia is a 10, then from my experience I would give Amsterdam a 9, and New York (a.k.a. New Amsterdam) an 8. =v= You can perhaps determine how bike-accessible the city is from these maps: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/bic...bikemaps.shtml My own experience is from biking (and living) mostly in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and riding through Queens and the Bronx. I'm not so experienced with Staten Island; you'd have to ask Usenet legend Gordon Fitch about that. _Jym_ |
