Welcome to my city! Thank you for doing this. I love getting outsiders' perspectives. You are right that the Empire State Trail goes to the Canadian border. And actually, it starts at the southern tip of Manhattan, not in Van Cortlandt Park where you picked it up. The Empire State Trail is T-shaped, and you can take it from Albany (in the middle of the north-south span) and take it very far west to Buffalo.
For 40+ years White Plains, NY closes a 13 mile loop of the Bronx River parkway all summer to recreation every Sunday from 10am -2pm. Unfortunately this year they chose to suspend it during July and august. Will continue Sept. October.
All cities should be closed to cars especially the city centres. It’s so dumb that most of the people living in dense cities dont own cars but still they are built and designed with mainly cars in mind and especially in the us the whole country is made just for cars, not humans (or other species). Neatherlands etc who have great bike infra had to fight for it (for example by taking over the streets and laying there with their bikes) and we will have to fight also.
If you want graduated changes like with the very centers of the cities for the bikes versus cars, that's possible, even like what I've seen where they just have certain streets otherwise car prohibited, in Central Europe, probably for the people who don't live there, but you can never realistically expect cities to be "closed to cars". They don't even do that in Holland! That being said, all of the business with one day a week in the summer or whenever, and no cars on certain streets or certain areas, that's just dandy and probably would have a positive effect on the popularity of cycling. Also in Germany especially there's always been a very heavy men's interest in fast cars, sports cars, as much as sausage, strudel, beer, and dueling, and that's engrained in the culture as much as bikes are engrained in Holland or Demark. So unless the Dutch invade and occupy and de-Nazify in that sense, it's not going to be a bike revolution there.
I remember visiting NYC one weekend, and getting up early to go for a run before we headed out to do whatever - and discovering a summer street! Absolutely fantastic to run down the middle of the street for 2 miles before turning around. :) Glad y'all got to experience it as well. Also, go Daisy for hands-free riding!
Thanks for riding through the Bronx,NY north on the Empire State trail way. Your friend and road guide set you up with a cool ride to Sleepy Hollow. Well done!
I was going to ask... how did you get back so quickly after filming with James!? But closed new york streets looked epic and fair play Daisy, going to feeling like you could fall to no handed Jimmi D dances in one jump cut. Epic.
I think this NYC vlog is my favorite set of videos you've ever done... And that is saying something!!!!! P.S. I'm not sure about wearing dark cycling kit in NYC...especially on 35+ degree days. But safety would be my main concern. New Yorker here. Wearing bright cycling kit and still alive and well.
The lane closures for bikes is really great and gets a lot of people out that usually would not tempt long cycling rides. I live in Ottawa (Canada) and we’ve had Sunday closures of certain promenades for about 10 years and more, but since a bit before COVID they’ve been expanded to the full weekend from 8 to 5 and the number of accessible roads has grown over time as well. You can do about 40km on the road without cars. Additionally, since Covid, our local box hill equivalent (Gatineau park) has now a time schedule limiting car traffic almost every day, with only a city shuttle for walkers being allowed. It’s really a great experience, especially for kids, because families don’t have to worry about safety as much and they can just enjoy the ride.
A woman rider was hit by a car in Gatineau Park, turning in front of her, up near Chelsea last week, at around 7 pm. I haven't heard how she is now. But I still intend to make it over the Champlain Bridge to Gatineau Park this summer.
@@richardharris8538 that’s sad to hear. It seems the driving in the city has been getting worst since COVID started. I’m in the East-end, Ogilvy and Montreal rd are always dicy even with the bike lane white lines.
@@nvspace126 I'm in the west-end. Early on in the pandemic I was cycling on Huntmar and Old Second Line in the South March Highlands. One weekend I had several cars overtake me with less than the 1.5 m they're supposed to, because of oncoming traffic. It was pretty scary. The amount of traffic out there is just a few vehicles that come through the traffic lights on March Road, so they could easily have waited a second or two. I think it was young rich guys from the mansions out there. I find that most drivers in the Ottawa area are very considerate. Anyway, now I stick to the bike paths, but I do want to get out to Gatineau Park. That'll be a longer ride than what I usually do, 44km. If I only go as far as Pink Lake, that'll still be well over 60 km.
Great fun guys, going north from Van Cortlandt is a really fun way to ride out of the city ! Try some night time rides for less cars as well ! So fun. The start of the Empire State trail south county/ north county/ south put trail - you can go all the way to Albany and Buffalo NY beyond. Its pretty amazing I grew up about 40 miles north on that trail from Van Cortlandt. (near Lake Glenida, Carmel). If you ever go up to Terrytown again - going over the new Tappan Zee Bridge - which would take you back to 9w. Piermont or the Filling station OR or south down the Old Croton Aqueduct trail - for a bit of gravel fun.
NYC DOT gives out free bike helmets and there is free one hour bike rentals available. I highly recommend this event. Dates are August 6, 13, & 20 from 7:00 to 13:00. Great video by the way!
Yup, that’s one of my regular routes up to Tarrytown and the Tappanzee- a gran fondo up from Manhattan. And yes, the Empire State Trailway goes up to Albany, then branches out northward to Quebec and westward to Ontario. A must do. 🚴
Neatherlands didn’t just suddenly decide to support cycling, the common people had to TAKE the streets to themselves and demand a better city. People litteraly blocked streets with their bikes to get what they wanted.
@@karigrandii but their example has happened has worked and is being modelled here very very slowly it's being rolled out now in our major cities, it's thanks to the Dutch (admired over here).that we have a working model to copy.
Rather an unrealistic thought that. Dutch doesn't really transfer, is unique and was developed haphazardly. Take some of the parts that you can, sure, but you won't really see that here.
City Streets was one of the best ideas NYC has ever had AND implemented. I love the fact y’all got to see the Old Putnam Trail! You can ride that all the way to Albany, then west to Buffalo.
At least with less unneeded cars. Some people have to have cars for mobility reasons but other then that there are a lot of people everywhere that can do without cars.
Y’all came for one of the hottest summers I’ve ever seen here. It’s normally not this brutal so I hope your both staying safe. Recommend checking out Coney Island. You could pop onto Bedford, and just head south for about 8 miles. Bedford is crazy in north Brooklyn but extremely chill easy riding south of prospect park. Go till you hit emmons ave and the bay. Swing right, and turn left when you see land again and head south till you hit the boardwalk. Find some katchipouri at a Georgian place, or go knot Coney Island for hot dogs. You can come back north along ocean parkway to see the oldest bike lane in the US. It’s quite pretty but the road surface is quite shit until you get north of ave U. You can take that nearly to prospect park. Or you could go along emmonds and it connects two different paths, one to the east will take you along the ocean on mixed use trails to more beaches, and the other will take you all around Brooklyn and eventually back to Williamsburg. Super fun watching this series and seeing all the places I ride to weather ugh to get to work or drop my my kids
Terry town??? Oh man. The best ride is 9W to Bear mountain up the west side of the Hudson, then over to the Peekskill brewery + train home. Best route around. Hit me up next time you’re in town and I’ll drag you and Daisy up there!
Great to see you can ride in NYC and enjoy it! I live about an hour west of New York in rural New Jersey and have never ridden in NYC. If you want get out of the city for a while you should check out Hunterdon or Sussex county
If you’re looking to do any gravel riding there’s a really nice route by Manual Pedal called the Hudson gravel loop. It’s like 60% gravel, doable on smaller tires if you’re a good sport. It really highlights some hidden gravel spots. I’ll send the route if you’re interested
Duuuuude, you could bikepack the Empire State Trail up to Albany and then pick up the Erie Canal Trail west to Buffalo. Not as cool as Vietnam, but probably more fun than Death Valley...
What a brilliant idea 💡Traffic free zones in a metropolis, why can't uk cities copy this initiative? Chapeau NYC 👏 BTW, the sun gods look great on video 😎
If you all want to see more inspiration from around the world, check out Not Just Bikes. You'll see how many cities have moved to cycling and train/tram infrastructure and it is so fun to see. Gives me lots of hope.
Gee, does this mean that bicyclists will stop blowing through red lights, going the wrong way on one way streets and generally celebrating their sense of entitlement by picking and choosing which traffic laws and common courtesy they deign to acknowledge?
In the UK every year on average there are around 400 pedestrians killed by motorists, and over 5000 seriously injured by them. 100 cyclists killed by motorists each year, and 3000 seriously injured.

@@caerffili_callin Maybe I live in Manhattan, and observe the degree to which bicyclists willfully disregard rules of the road.

To suggest otherwise or that critics of reckless cyclists need to check their priorities, pretty much spells out the nature of two wheeled entitlement. There are plenty of idiots on the road, four-wheeled and two-wheeled.
The entire west coast is laughing their asses off at this. OMG, THREE WHOLE SATURDAYS with no traffic!?! Ha ha ha ha... Omg, I can ride 10 minutes in light traffic then be out into hundreds of empty county roads EVERY DAY.... Ha ha ha ha.. city folk....
Francis check Instagram DM for kayak rental suggestion on the Croton River,it’s literally located next to the train stop. Super peaceful and with this heatwave you guys look like you could use a fresh water dip.Cheers.
Try the bridge to bridge loop if you have time. North on the trailway, cross the Mario Cuomo bridge (mariomcuomobridge.ny.gov/visit-visitor-info), south on 9W (Jersey) and cross the GWB back into northern Manhattan. The rest you have done before. Thanks for the videos.

Back *and forth* Manhattan - Tarrytown
I used to do night rides downtown in a city that was almost entirely daytime hour businesses. So there was zero traffic at night. It was awesome.
Great vlog felt like a glimpse of the future as major cities start their inexorable march towards being Dutch.

Rather an unrealistic thought that. Dutch doesn't really transfer, is unique and was developed haphazardly. Take some of the parts that you can, sure, but you won't really see that here.
Couldn’t agree more. When I was in NY some days it was quicker to walk, definitely quicker to ride. There’s a reason bike couriers are used.
City Streets was one of the best ideas NYC has ever had AND implemented. I love the fact y’all got to see the Old Putnam Trail! You can ride that all the way to Albany, then west to Buffalo.
Yes, that trail does go all the way to Canada 🇨🇦! A friend of mine recently rode it, the other direction to NYC. Something on my bucket list.
Not trails all the way though, currently switches to mostly roads once you get near Albany. Still a nice ride for sure.
Mention of 110th Street at 1.01 had Bobby Womack pop into my brain. Woo, ooh.
'Build it and they will come' exactly!!
Thanks Francis...that looked like a very cool bike path ! Someday...perhaps , they'll be everywhere people are !
Remarkable, but also totally unsurprising, how much nicer a city looks without cars clogging its streets. Imagine a society without them. What a dream
At least with less unneeded cars. Some people have to have cars for mobility reasons but other then that there are a lot of people everywhere that can do without cars.
Hellooooo. Nice to see your blogs back again!!!! (for some reason my YT had issues keeping up - perhaps too much other things in my inbox?)
If only we did this in Sydney aswell! Especially our summer holiday weeks around Christmas-New Years.
Empire State Trail covers 750 miles, ~1200 KM. From NYC to Canada (near Plattsburgh) or to Buffalo/Lake Erie which is also very close to Canada.
Y’all came for one of the hottest summers I’ve ever seen here. It’s normally not this brutal so I hope your both staying safe.
