Barry Baldwin is a respected presence in the New York City, having operated an NYC Transit Authority bus for many years. A fitness enthusiast, Barry Baldwin walks approximately five miles a week and takes out his bicycle for extended rides on the weekend.
New York has a diverse and extensive network of cycling paths and routes, including the 13-mile long Westside Greenway Path, which runs from the George Washington Bridge to the Staten Island Ferry. Relatively flat, the paved course takes in the view of the Hudson River and offers plenty of riverside parks to stop at and take a break.
For adventures that seem to leave the city behind, a route along Bedford Avenue from Prospect Park’s north end traverses Brooklyn College and arrives at Sheepshead Bay, which is used by charter fishing vessels. From here, a greenway extends to empty stretches of beaches in the vicinity of the Rockaways’ Fort Tilden.
One of the perennially popular Manhattan cycling spots is at Central Park, which offers a six-mile course that encompasses hilly and flat terrain. Easy to hop on and off, this loop has the drawback of often heavy traffic and is closed to cyclists on the weekends and holidays, as well as some weekday hours.
