What's the easiest and most bike friendly way to bike from Tarrytown, NY to Manhattan? |
I'm trying 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 tough to figure out on a map. Can anyone help? Oh man, I love riding on the North County and South County trails in Westchester also! Anyway, when you get to the end of the South County trail, you will end up at the intersection of Touissant Avenue and Tuckahoe Road in Yonkers. To get down to Manhattan, I followed this route: - Turn right onto Tuckahoe Road to go westbound to Old Nepperhan Avenue. - Turn right onto Old Nepperhan Avenue. It will join up with Nepperhan Avenue, and you can take that south all the way to Riverdale Avenue. (Alternatively, you can turn onto Broadway one block 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 traffic.) 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 eventually turns into the service road for the Henry Hudson Parkway. Keep going until you get to West 239th Street. - Turn left on West 239th Street to cross the parkway overpass to the traffic circle on the other side. - At the traffic circle, look for Riverdale Avenue again, and take it south to 231st Street. - Turn left onto 231st Street, go down that street until you hit Broadway. - Turn right onto Broadway and take that south, and you will cross the Broadway bridge (which has a bike / walkway) into Manhattan. Hope this helps! Source(s): Been there, done that! |
