Bicycle Sundays kicks off on Bronx River Parkway

Bicycle Sundays on the Bronx River Parkway, one of Westchester’s longest-running and most popular recreational programs, started Sunday, May 2.  The program is held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (weather permitting).  The series runs through October.

Bicycle Sundays, a Westchester County Parks program, is sponsored by Con Edison, New York Presbyterian Hospital, the Westchester
Parks Foundation and Danny’s Cycles.  During Bicycle Sundays, a portion of the Bronx River Parkway is closed to cars for the exclusive use of bicyclists, joggers, walkers, scooters and strollers.  The course will be slightly modified this year, beginning at Main Street in White Plains (instead of at the Westchester County Center) and continue south to Scarsdale Road in Yonkers.  Admission is free.

There are numerous points of entry along the route.  Although parking will be available in the Westchester County Center’s east parking
lot, participants will follow signs and directions to enter the route at Main Street once they exit their cars.

It is required that participants wear a mask or a face covering in situations where social distancing may not always be able to be maintained.  For additional information, visit https://www.thewpf.org/event/bicycle-sundays-7/.
