As Long Island's bikeway network continues to grow and improve, and as gas prices continue to soar, I am finding fewer reasons to travel outside of here to find good, traffic-free places to ride. The Westchester County Trails used to be favorites of mine, and I would travel up there several times each summer to ride both north and south. In recent years, I've stayed with the Bethpage and Ellen Farrant Bikeways, as these have taken on a new feeling since they were extended and given some press.
The North & South County Trails were always beautiful, though, and I may take a trip up there in the fall just to check the status of all the links that have reportedly been finished in recent years. So, is Farragut Avenue still a good place to start if I have a car?
