En bici de Bensonhurst a Brooklyn

Looking for a scenic, laid-back ride through Brooklyn? Start off in Bensonhurst, a lively neighborhood famous for its Italian heritage and fantastic bakeries. From there, you’ll cruise northeast along mostly quiet, paved roads—almost 90% of the route is smooth pavement, and about a third is dedicated cycleway, letting you relax and enjoy the ride.

The journey covers just over 11 kilometers, making it perfect for an easy weekend outing. You won’t be climbing big hills; the route is fairly flat, maxing out at only 20 meters elevation, so it’s beginner-friendly. You’ll get glimpses of southern Brooklyn’s eclectic charm before arriving in the heart of Brooklyn proper—a melting pot of culture, leafy streets, and vibrant local spots.

Take your time, maybe stop for a bagel or two, and soak in the sights. This route is a great way to experience the borough’s quieter side without any stress from traffic. Happy cycling!
