Sortie rapide à vélo de East New York à Long Island City

Set out from East New York, a vibrant Brooklyn neighborhood known for its diverse community and classic brownstones, and pedal your way northwest to Long Island City, Queens—a former industrial hub now famous for its art galleries, waterfront parks, and stunning skyline views.

Your ride covers about 16 km, mostly along quiet residential streets with a good mix of paved and asphalt surfaces—perfect for a relaxed city cruise. There’s only a gentle amount of climbing, so you can focus more on soaking up the shifting scenes: from the lively avenues of Brooklyn to the urban edge of Queens. The route has light exposure to busier roads, but most of it is pretty chill, with a few dedicated stretches for bikes.

As you arrive in Long Island City, treat yourself to a stroll through Gantry Plaza State Park or explore MoMA PS1 for a dose of contemporary art. No matter your reason for riding, this cross-borough journey packs a lot of character into a low-key adventure!
