Backroads Tour: NYC by Bicycle

April Fools Day Special 😉

Put your biking skills and nervous system to the test while you explore New York City on two wheels!

This is not your average bike tour that meanders along country roads; this experience will get your adrenaline pumping and put to use skills you never knew you needed in biking.*

On day one you’ll get a defensive riding course from a veteran NYC bike messenger to prepare you for the 8-day bike journey through NYC. With more than 8.6 million inhabitants, you’re bound to have to use your newly acquired skills.

Our tour will take us through the 5 boroughs of this busy, dense and expansive city. Ride through Manhattan and the canyons of skyscrapers while navigating pedestrians as they J-walk. Dodge the shoppers in Soho, and tourists on clunky Citibikes as taxi’s and uber drivers whiz by.

Stop by Yankees stadium in the Bronx then cross Randalls Island before exploring the multi-ethnic, now gentrifying hipster outer boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn. A healthy ride across the Verrazzano Bridge will land you in Staten Island. From there, you’ll round out the tour and make your way back to Manhattan with a picturesque ride on Staten Island ferry. There is an option to add on a dining experience at Popeye’s Chicken in Staten Island, this year’s go to gastro-destination of the Five Boroughs.

By experiencing New York in this way you may understand why New Yorkers are the way they are 😉.

* This tour is not for the faint of heart.
