Quick ride by bicycle from Inwood to The Bronx

Cruising from Inwood up to the Bronx gives you a classic New York ride! You’ll start in Inwood, the northern tip of Manhattan, a neighborhood known for its green spaces like Inwood Hill Park—a nice urban escape before you cross over into the Bronx.

The route is about 11.5 km long and has just enough hills to keep things interesting, with a total climb of about 130 meters. As you ride, you’ll follow cycleways and quiet roads most of the time, so it feels pretty relaxed, and there’s a nice mix of paved surfaces (mostly smooth asphalt).

Once you hit the Bronx, you’ll arrive in a borough famous for its rich history, the Bronx Zoo, and the New York Botanical Garden. This ride is perfect for a leisurely weekend outing or a scenic commute, mixing city sights with pockets of nature. Don’t forget to take in the views over the Harlem River as you link these two classic NYC neighborhoods!
