  It’s national bike month and for most New Yorkers it’s a much needed excuse to venture outside. The East Coast Greenway should suffice for most of your biking needs. The ECG is a set of bike paths spanning 3,000 miles that runs along the east coast from Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida.

  The New York portion of the ECG is a 44 mile route starting on the eastern side of Westchester, crossing through the Bronx, then 13 miles down along the west side of the city. The East Coast Greenway in New York follows two separate routes, eastern and western, both of which end downtown. There is also a NY Waterway ferry service option to connect to the East Coast Greenway in New Jersey. 90% of the route that runs through NYC is traffic free. You can view the full map of the NY portion on google.
