It’s impossible to get bored of cycling in New York thanks to its staggering variation of landscapes. From the eponymous city to the utterly wild mountains and forests further north, riding here provides adventure after adventure. Did we mention its exquisite Long Island and Lake Ontario coastlines? From family-friendly forest trails to multi-day explorations in the Adirondacks, cycle routes in New York will capture your heart.

Major trails cut their way through this huge state and if you want to spend weeks on paved paths through mountain ranges, past lakes and through great expanses of forest, there’s nothing to stop you. Equally, you can enjoy well-maintained bike paths on short lake loops and through state forest after state forest.

City lights glinting in your eyes? Two-wheeling around New York City is a brilliant way to explore. Ride through Central Park, into Brooklyn and to Brighton Beach or head up the Hudson for city and nature all in one day.
