What's The Easiest And Most Bike Friendly Way To Bike From Tarrytown, NY To Manhattan?
Jul 23, 2007 by kdaddy_95 | Posted in New York City
I'm taxing to use the bike trail system in Westchester to get from Ossining, NY to Manhattan. The route seems great until you get to Yonkers and then it gets a little obdurate to figure out on a map. Can anyone help?
Oh man, I dear one riding on the North County and South County trails in Westchester also!
Anyway, when you get to the end of the South County dim, you will end up at the intersection of Touissant Avenue and Tuckahoe Road in Yonkers. To get down to Manhattan, I followed this route:
- Fright right onto Tuckahoe Road to go westbound to Old Nepperhan Avenue.
- Turn right onto Old Nepperhan Avenue. It will verge on up with Nepperhan Avenue, and you can take that south all the way to Riverdale Avenue. (Alternatively, you can turn onto Broadway one deny stuff up before you hit Riverdale Avenue, and take Broadway all the way down to Manhattan. I did this once and didn't like it at all because Broadway has pretty heavy vehicular freight.)
If you decide to take Riverdale Avenue, the itinerary continues:
- Turn left onto Riverdale Avenue from Nepperhan, and take that all the way south through Riverdale. It in due course turns into the service road for the Henry Hudson Parkway. Keep going until you get to West 239th Alley.
- Turn left on West 239th Street to cross the parkway overpass to the traffic clique on the other side.
- At the traffic circle, look for Riverdale Avenue again, and take it south to 231st Street.
- Scoot left onto 231st Street, go down that street until you hit Broadway.
- Turn right onto Broadway and take that south, and you will moody the Broadway bridge (which has a bike / walkway) into Manhattan.
How Long Would It Take To Bike Ride From Manhattan, NY To Greenwich?

It's about a 1 hr demand
The false step is about 38.6 miles according to expedia.
I know people who've completed about 70 miles in one day. Here are some tips.
1) Upon the benefits of speed
I once had a conversation that went something like this:
Other person: "What did you do over the weekend?"
Me: "I bicycled seventy-two miles on Sunday."
Other myself: "Wow! I could never ride that far!"
Me: "Suppose you had a week to complete the ride?"
Other himself: "Sure, I could do it."
Me: "Then it's really just a matter of time, isn't it?"
Reserve=speed x time. Even if you don't have a competitive bone in your body, increased speed means you can garb more miles—see more of the countryside—in a given amount of time. As you ride longer distances, your level of pertinence will improve. As your level of fitness improves, you'll find yourself riding faster and you'll lose less time to nap stops. It's a simple as that.
2) Set a pace you can maintain
Put too much effort into the early part of a long ride and you peril not finishing it. Begin with your destination in mind, and set a pace that will get you there. My recommendation is to pick a pace you can prop up all day, and then ride all day at that pace. Remember that getting there is only half the battle, and conserve energy for the carry back trip. If you get tired, stop and rest periodically. Take breaks to stretch your muscles as needed.
3) Circumvent bonking
"Bonking" is the term associated with over-exertion that results in a model loss of energy—a feeling of being "burnt out." I've done it twice, and both times I doubted that I'd be masterful to make it home. Where did I go wrong? I failed to bring along snacks that provide energy. Dried fruit works well for me, but others fancy fig bars, commercially available products such as PowerBars®, burritos, peanut butter, or whatever. Examine to find what works best for your body. In my case, I begin craving sweets before I bonk. That tells me when to desist from and eat a handful of dried fruit.
4) Stay hydrated
Dehydration brings fatigue and write off-headedness. It's scary when you're thirty miles from home and so dizzy you can barely balance your bicycle. Draft plenty of fluids as you ride, especially on hot days. If you don't know of water stops or pop machines along the road, carry plenty of water with you. Some people get a boost from the sugar in pop, while others say it makes them feel sluggish. As with choosing snacks, you must lay eyes on your body's requirements.
5) Respect the elements
The sun isn't your friend; if there's any chance that you'll burn, take along a tube of sunblock and use it liberally. Apparel eye protection, both to keep out dirt and bugs and to block harmful ultraviolet rays. Carry a raincoat. Mine is affordable ($20) and made of lightweight paste. It may not "breathe" like expensive GORE-TEX®, but it has saved me more than once when the climate ailing changed dramatically.
6) Spin those pedals
Instead of seeing how much force you can apply to the pedals, tell them freely in lower gears. If it helps you to conserve your strength, remain seated when climbing hills. Keep an optimal beat (revolutions of the pedals), which is about 90 rpm for most riders. What you want is the most efficient compromise between working your legs and your lungs. A loose rule of thumb is this: If your legs wear out first, your cadence is too low; if your lungs wear out first, your cadence is too sybaritic.
7) Optimize the comfort of your bicycle
Pain brings fatigue. If your bicycle is uncomfortable, the miles will take their strike on your body. If your butt hurts excessively, try a different seat and padded shorts. If you're riding a bicycle with unqualified handlebars (typically a mountain bike or hybrid), add bar-end extenders to provide varied positions for your hands and wrists. Front or bottom suspension reduces road shock. If your back hurts, try raising the stem or install more honourable handlebars. Even if you decrease the bicycle's aerodynamics slightly, the increase in comfort may be worth it. If your feet pinch and you're wearing tennis shoes, try a pair of bicycling shoes with stiff soles.
8) Be instant to fix it along the way
Of course you carry a bicycle pump and patches with you. Don’t you? Consider the most common kinds of failures, and be instant to face them miles from home. It's impractical to carry a complete set of tools and spare parts, but be guaranteed to include what you're most likely to need. For example, most bicycle shops or mail order vendors carry compact, multi-purpose tools (such as the Cool Tool) designed for bicyclists. Disseminate spare spokes inside your seat tube, where they're out of the way but available if needed. In an emergency, be planned to work with whatever materials are available. For example, if the sidewall of your tire blows out, which happened to me once, perhaps you can time reinforce it with a stray piece of cardboard found by the roadside.
On the subject of "be prepared to fix it," you may miss to carry a minimal first aid kit in case you're ever in need of repairs. I once skinned my knee and dripped blood rather spectacularly—you should've seen the looks of daunt I got from motorists—for fifteen miles until I reached home. Even a couple of small, adhesive bandages would have been usable that day.
9) Find a good way to carry all that stuff
When you carry equipment and provisions for long distances, you need more trainload capacity than when riding around town. Over the years I've experimented with various ways to carry accessories—everything from bags to trunks to panniers. For me, a prominently handlebar bag works best. It has adequate capacity and, because it's inline with my body, it doesn't adversely strike my aerodynamics. Panniers (saddlebags) work well, too, and contribute to a low center of balance. However, they require a hurt and seem to create more drag, especially when fighting headwinds.
I Want To Bike From 185th Between Audobon And Amsterdam To 2nd And 42nd In Manhattan. What's The Best Route?

Is this viable? How long would it take?
I'm desperate to get out of the packed subways though, and it would wake me up at least in the mornings.
There is a bike in step along the old west side highway called west side drive now. It is nice since it is along the water and there are no streets to splenetic. It is about 7 miles to 42nd street. The problem is then that you have to get across town to 2nd avenue. No easy way to do that. I would actually go down 42nd depending upon the just the same from time to time of day since it is wider and cars and trucks can get around you better. That is about another 2-3 miles.
Depending upon what kind of bike you have and how close to your ride and what time of day, it should take under an hour. If you have a good bike, are in good shape and don't hit too many long lights splenetic town, you can do it in 35-40 minutes.
