Rides are modelled from OpenStreetMap and terrain data and are not field-checked yet. Times here are estimates at a sporty pace. Catalogue access does not mean a ride fits your ability or available time. Low traffic stress includes quiet/shared streets, not just separated paths. Check current conditions before you go. Central Park's drives are one way, counterclockwise, for bikes, and the park is closed from 1 am to 6 am. The East River Greenway is closed between Montgomery Street and Stuyvesant Cove for construction, and no ride here uses it. Bikes are not permitted on Little Island. The park drives and the Greenway are shared with runners and walkers: ride slowly near crowds.
