Ever since I moved I haven't biked as much as I would have liked. Nothing beat going to central park and biking the loop or part of the loop. The first summer I moved to LIC I went out once or twice and really couldn't find any place I liked biking too. Last summer I went biking in Central Park once but otherwise didn't do much in the way of biking due to lots of work deadlines.
This summer I want to get out and do more biking and exploring. Today I rented a bike right by the Intrepid (I didn't want to deal with traveling on the subway with my own) and biked on along the west side highway. There is a great bike path all along the water. Went from 43st down to the World Financial Center and back. For my first outing of the year that was enough for me and my bike partner.
We opted for the by the water since central park is so hilly. I am glad we did. It was a great flat ride. Only problem was a bunch of wind on the way back that was against us. Overall a great afternoon out.
I need to find someplace in Queens I can really get to easily to bike around…
