Queens is the most ethnically diverse county and this bike route highlights the diverse communities and historic districts that make the borough unique. More info on the

The Queens Around the World bicycle tour takes you along on-street and off-street bicycle lanes and greenways through parks, by shops and into neighborhoods where diverse communities create vibrant street life filled with an incredible array of music, shopping, and cultural events. As you pedal from neighborhood to neighborhood, you can sample from an eclectic variety of cuisines. The tour offers a number of destination options where cyclists can ride by a historic building or park your bikes and enjoy a museum or a delicious meal. Other points of interest include galleries, public art, cultural institutions, houses of worship, architectural gems and historic districts.

The tour is designed so cyclists can take a single 18 mile ride or multiple short rides. The route often parallels the 7 subway line, nicknamed the International Express and designated as a National Millennium Trail, but gives riders a street-level, interactive experience.

The temporary art installation will be place from June 26th to October 13th, 2008. The DOT has put out a great map for cyclists to take a “waterfall tour” (hat tip to Streetsblog).

The falls will be located in the East River and New York Harbor:

  • Under the Brooklyn Bridge
  • Brooklyn’s Piers 4 and 5
  • Pier 35 in Manhattan
  • Governors Island via ferry

These Westchester trails are part of an ambitious rails-to-trails project that will eventually connect Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx to the Putnam County Trailway via a scenic car-free bike path. While nearly 40 miles have already been completed & are ready for riding, there is still on-going construction on the South County Trailway and to ride from the city to the trail requires several miles of on-street riding with traffic. To skip the city miles & minimize on-street riding, you can take Metro North to the trail. The Pleasantville station is only a mile from the North County Trailway.
