[QUOTE=Ferdinand NYC;18875929]Great! But I wonder whether a day trip is feasible. It's about three and a half hours each way on the bus from Baltimore. But, if that suits your fancy, then go for it. Also, remember that New York is huge; it is nearly four times the size of Baltimore. Even if you throw out Staten Island (which I wish we could do! honestly, there is no point in visiting there), that still leaves a land mass of the size of three Baltimores. So, if you were just up for the day, it might be good to concentrate mainly on Manhattan, with any excursions into the other boroughs not taking you very far into them. The bike lanes are concentrated in Manhattan anyway. Still, there are plenty of outer-borough streets that are good for riding, most of which don't have bike lanes.

Thanks. I agree, it is a long day but I have done similar jaunts. I hope to include Brooklyn as well as Manhattan. Not all of Manhattan, just some of it. I really love Brooklyn. Do you have links for the best cycling map of NY?

Thanks Again, Charlie
PS I am headed down to DC tomorrow via car or train and bike to ride about and visit the Folklife festival. Weather is awesome in this region!
