NYC Cycling Map

Since 1997, various city agencies created and distributed free bike maps of New York City. It started with maps of individual boroughs until 2001. Since 2002, one map now incorporates Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and the Bronx.

Besides recommended bike routes, the map shows greenways, bike shops (with bike rentals), bridges with bike access, subway stations in case you need to bail out on a ride, etc.

Pick up a free copy at your local bike shop or at bike events such as the FIve Boro Bike tour and the TA Century. (The map is also available online.)
