Harlem to Far Rockaway Beach

I did this biketour in September 2008. I started from my home in Harlem and went down the Hudson River Bikepath, then over Brooklyn Bridge and through Prospect Park, down the Ocean Parkway (Bikepath) to Coney Island and from there to Far Rockaway Beach. The backroute was over Bayridge (waterfront), Sunset Park and Park Slope. Most of the tour is ona bikepath. It's superflat and you can do the whole tour on a racebike as well. I would then just use the street instead of the bumpy Ocean Parkway Bikepath. The bikepath from Verrazano Bridge to Sunset Park is one great bike highway. Great to ride and see the sunset.

Far Rockaway Beach is the perfect biketour chillout. In September it's warm enough to have a nice refreshing bath in the ocean.

Have fun, Verena :)
