I got a new bike, and was looking for a way to get to Fort Tilden Beach. There weren't any (protected) bike path that went direct south through Queens and Brooklyn, so I looked at the NYC Bike map for viable bike routes, and just headed south. There are a bunch of mistakes along the way as I missed a few key streets and had to adjust the route. I added some notes along the way explaining some stuff.  the route is 25 miles.  maybe next time i shouldn't do that much on my first ride. gonna feel this tomorrow.

Starting from Jackson Heights, south along side streets, through Forest Park, eventually ending up on the Jamaica Bay Greenway.  Travel along the greenway with a quick stop at Carnarsie Pier, and also Floyd Bennett Field, and Fort Tilden.

  1. Interessanter Ort nach 4 km

    I was planning on heading east along Eliot Ave, and south along Fresh Pond Road. unfortunately I completely missed Eliot Ave, and it's too far to backtrack. so might as well continue south.

  2. Interessanter Ort nach 4 km

    CAUTION: Metropolitan Avenue is a two-way, two land, narrow street with no room for bicycles. detour around using another street.

  3. Interessanter Ort nach 6,4 km

  7. Interessanter Ort nach 10,7 km

    I had to walk my bike across a crosswalk to put myself in a good position for further travel south. it's a big intersection.

  8. Interessanter Ort nach 11,3 km

    ok, 80th street here goes in the opposite direction, so let me try 79th st instead.

  9. Interessanter Ort nach 12 km

    CAUTION: the nyc bike map mentions there is a potential future bicycle path here. figured there was some rudimentary path at least. nada, it's just a huge swath of grass flanked by highway traffic. there's no crosswalk here. I decided to wait until there was no traffic before i crossed.

  10. Interessanter Ort nach 14 km

    Finally made it. Jamaica Bay Greenway bike and ped path. protected. the ride is pretty lonely and boring, once you're on it, there's no exit until Carnarsie Pier.

    Whoops! missed the bike path, turn around

    Floyd Bennett Field, I haven't been here before.

  17. Interessanter Ort nach 31,2 km

    the path continues on the other side of the road. wait for the light, use the crosswalk.

  18. Interessanter Ort nach 31,6 km

    path narrows, and signs tell you that riding bicycles are prohibited on the bridge. nobody pays attention. there's barely enough room to fit two bicycles.

    Breezy Dogs food truck. good frozen arnold palmer (lemonade ice tea) with chopped up lemon rind in it.

  23. Interessanter Ort nach 35,1 km

    Jacob Riis Park. too many people on the boardwalk not paying attention.

  24. Interessanter Ort nach 35,4 km

    there's a small shaded path here leading to a golf course. good place for 1-2 people to seek shade for a few minutes to finish off my frozen arnold palmer drink brought earlier.

  25. Interessanter Ort nach 37,6 km

    I cramped up bad here.

  26. Interessanter Ort nach 38,9 km

    tried to deal with the cramping, took a quick break to see if the shade spot at this location was there. it was not.
