I've ridden on the Parkway with my 10-year-old many times, between Hamlin Beach and Rochester.
It's a 55MPH road, but the shoulders are absolutely huge - at least the width of a normal lane. However, it also has a LOT of accidents. There are sections that seem to lull drivers to sleep, with unfortunate consequences. So be careful.
May in Upstate NY: You could have snow ( Yes, I'm serious ), or it could be 85 degrees. You'll need to plan for a ride range of possibilities.
