Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Long Island City à Jamaica

This ride takes you from the funky, artsy neighborhood of Long Island City in Queens all the way southeast to Jamaica, one of the borough’s cultural and transportation hubs. Starting along the East River, you’ll cruise through LIC’s blend of shiny high-rises, converted warehouses, and mural-covered walls—don't forget to grab a selfie before heading out!

The route is about 24km long, mostly on quiet roads, with some stretches of smooth asphalt making it ideal for a relaxed roll. It's not a hilly ride either—the gentle climbs and descents barely total 50 meters, so your legs get an easy day.

As you approach Jamaica, the vibe shifts from leafy neighborhoods to a bustling commercial center known for its historic King Manor Museum and as a gateway to JFK Airport. The ride is great for soaking in Queens’ diversity—expect to pass through a patchwork of parks, old residential streets, and lively local bakeries.

All in all, it’s an excellent way to see the heart of Queens from your saddle. Just keep in mind, some surfaces are missing info, so be ready for occasional surprises!
