[WATCH] The best long bike route in New York City

This video showcases the Brooklyn-Queens Greenway, a 40-mile bike route that prioritizes serene spaces and protected lanes over battling city traffic. The route begins on the boardwalk of Coney Island in Brooklyn and travels northeast through 13 parks to end in the very north of Queens. Highlights include the historic Ocean Parkway bike path, the scenic Prospect Park (passing the Brooklyn Museum), the tranquil Forest Park, and Flushing Meadows Corona Park, home to the iconic Unisphere and the Queens Museum. Riders will also traverse the old Vanderbilt Motor Parkway and finish at the historic Fort Totten Park, enjoying diverse neighborhoods, cultural institutions, and iconic landmarks along the way.
