if you like you can go out to forest park in queens or flushing meadows which is really nice. ususally throughout queens i ride almost everywhere and its a nice area since there aren't too many cars as well as alot of parks and poen roads.

In the early 80's , I did the 5 Boro Bike Tour 2 yrs in a row.
Is it still held? Do you participate? Is it still as fun as it used to be?

Metro North has been fairly bike friendly. You can ride one of the trains out of the city and cycle in Westchester and Putnam counties. It's beautiful up here.
