Hudson River Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This continuous Greenway actually runs all the way from Battery Park at its south end past the George Washington Bridge and ends in Inwood at the north end of Manhattan. It can be busy with joggers and tourists on nice days (especially through midtown), but there's a dedicated bike lane which is protected from car traffic, and it's offers great views of the water. Excellent way to travel North/South through the city with minimal interruption.

Center Drive, Central Park

Highlight • Cycleway

Southern entry into Central Park. If you want to go north through Manhattan, there is the possibility to escape the dense New York traffic here in the park in addition to the Hudson Trail on the bank.

Cat’s Paw Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Go early - after 9am on a decent day the whole park loop is very crowded and only good for leisure rides.
