    Hiking

    From the pedestrian side of the bridge, you have a great view of Manhattan despite the chain-link fence.
    Car traffic on the bridge is very loud.
    It takes about 70 minutes to walk there and back along the footpath (towards Queens/Long Island and back to Manhattan).
    There are a lot of joggers.
    You shouldn't walk on the bicycle side. E-bikes and pedelecs sometimes speed past you there at very high speeds.
