Get ready for a classic NYC ride! Starting off in Long Island City, a vibrant Queens neighborhood known for its waterfront parks and art galleries, you’ll pedal west toward the heart of Manhattan. With most of your 15.7 km journey on paved surfaces and nearly half on dedicated cycleways, this route is a breeze for city riders.

You’ll climb just under 190 meters (not too tough!) and enjoy plenty of views—especially as you cross the iconic Queensboro Bridge. There’s a mix of quiet roads and bustling city scenes, but only a tiny stretch on busy roads, so you can focus on the ride.

Your finish line is lower Manhattan near City Hall—steps away from world-famous landmarks, tasty eats, and the start of many NYC adventures. Whether a commute or a weekend spin, this route gives you big-city energy from start to finish!
