Biking in New York City, Bicycle Rides in NYC

New York is one of the most walkable cities in the world, thanks in part to Manhattan’s grid-pattern layout. But with more than 1,200 miles of bike lanes and routes-many of which have been added in the past decade-it’s also quite bike-friendly. Two-wheeled transit is an increasingly popular and accessible way to navigate the City while taking in some extraordinary vistas on your way.
No discussion of transportation in New York would be complete without talking about one of the cheapest, easiest-and, increasingly, most popular-ways of getting around the city: biking.
Reportedly, about 450,000 bike trips are taken every day in the five boroughs, with one in five of those trips being taken by someone who’s commuting. There are now more than 1,000 bike lanes in the city, a number that has doubled from a decade ago. And Citi Bike, which launched in 2013, has increased its membership numbers to approximately 130,000 in the past few years.
The City of New York, often called New York City, is the most populous city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban areas in the world. With population of 8,550,405 distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790 km2), New York is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. A global power city, New York City exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of New York State. The five boroughs - Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island - were consolidated into a single city in 1898. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world.
Manhattan is often described as the cultural and financial capital of the world and hosts the United Nations Headquarters. Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world, and Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization: the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Many multinational media conglomerates are based in the borough. It is historically documented to have been purchased by Dutch colonists from Native Americans in 1626 for 60 guilders which equals US$1062 today.

I've done the Hudson River bike-lane dozens of times, having lived in The Village. Great film.

Fake, NY is skyscrapers not village roads with a lot of trees.
