Crosstown Bikeway 5

Crosstown Bikeway 5 is the no. 5 corridor in a citywide crosstown network. It’s a practical across-town link for everyday riding—commutes, errands, or a relaxed weekend spin. Expect a mix of bike lanes, quieter streets, and shared paths; you can hop on or off anywhere and ride it in either direction.

Plan for typical city features: traffic lights, a few busier crossings, and calmer neighborhood stretches. If wayfinding exists, follow “Bikeway 5” signs. It also connects with other numbered Crosstown routes, making it easy to extend or shortcut your ride.

There’s no set distance here—think of it as a corridor and use the segment you need. Off‑peak hours are the smoothest. Bring lights and a bell, and take extra care at intersections. Good for confident beginners, commuters, and anyone looking for a straightforward cross‑town line.
