Family Funmaker

This route is made for families, first-timers, and anyone looking to experience Manhattan on two wheels in a safe, supportive, and fun environment. The Family Funmaker is slow-paced, scenic, and filled with opportunities to soak in the city. Think of it as your invitation to roll through NYC without worrying about traffic or time.

Expect a group-oriented ride with a relaxed vibe. You’ll stick primarily to Manhattan’s bike-friendly streets, with a route that gives you just enough mileage to feel like you’ve accomplished something special without needing any prior training. If you’ve biked in a park, along a greenway, or with your kids around the neighborhood, you’re ready for this. There’s no rush — just the joy of discovery and the excitement of being part of something bigger.

Highlights may include:

  • Scenic sections in downtown Manhattan

  • Safe streets with minimal traffic exposure

  • Plenty of space for young riders and families with trailers

  • Frequent rest stops and bike marshals throughout

This route is ideal for families with kids, casual cyclists, and anyone curious about riding in New York. You'll never get another chance like this to ride Manhattan as part of a group.

Casual Explorer

Ready to level up your city riding? The Casual Explorer takes you on a loop through three boroughs — Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn — hitting major bridges and iconic stretches of city cycling infrastructure. It’s urban, it’s social, and it’s the perfect step up for recreational riders looking for more of a challenge.

Unlike the more structured Family Funmaker, this route is freeform: riders spread out, move at their own pace, and stop when they want. You’ll ride past river views, through lively neighborhoods, and over legendary crossings. It’s long enough to make your legs work, but short enough that you’ll still have energy to enjoy the day when you’re done.

Highlights may include:

  • The thrill of crossing the Brooklyn and Queensboro Bridges

  • Expansive protected bike lanes and dedicated bike paths

  • Rest stops with snacks and fellow riders

  • A broad mix of city parks, boulevards, and photo ops

Expect to meet a community of fellow adventurers: chill, curious, and happy to swap stories at every stoplight. This is NYC cycling at its most welcoming.

City Adventurer

If you want to taste everything NYC has to offer — the beach, the boardwalk, the bridges, and the bustle — this is your route. The City Adventurer dives deep into the boroughs, from South Brooklyn to waterfront parks, all while staying accessible for intermediate riders.

You don’t have to be a pro, but you should be ready to ride most of the day. The terrain is mostly flat, and the pace is flexible. What sets this ride apart is its range — you’ll see corners of the city you didn’t know existed and neighborhoods that make NYC the vibrant place it is.

Highlights may include:

  • A visit to Coney Island

  • Views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge

  • Extended mileage through Brooklyn’s varied neighborhoods

  • A balanced mix of waterfront paths, park trails, and quiet side streets

Whether you're training for your first long ride or just looking to experience the city like never before, this is the sweet spot: ambitious, immersive, and totally doable.

Coastal Trailblazer

The Coastal Trailblazer is for the rider who wants more: more distance, more edge, more open road. This route circles far and wide, hugging NYC’s southern coastlines and pushing deep into Brooklyn’s less-traveled neighborhoods. It’s not just a ride — it’s a test of grit, endurance, and exploration.

You’ll feel the pull of the Atlantic as you trace long stretches along the water. You’ll see a side of New York most people never pedal through. And you’ll earn the right to call yourself a serious cyclist — without committing to the full 100 miles.

Highlights may include:

  • Extended coastal riding along the Shore Parkway Greenway

  • Quiet urban trails, wide boulevards, and neighborhood secrets

  • Long-haul riding with fewer crowds

  • Views and vistas that reward every pedal stroke

This is your next big goal. If you’ve done 50+ mile rides before and want to take the next step, the Coastal Trailblazer has your name on it.

Century Champion

The original. The iconic. The full send.

The Century Champion route is a 100-mile journey across four boroughs, from greenways to gritty streets, sweeping bridges to waterfront paths. This is America’s only all-urban century ride, first launched in 1990 as a bold demand for safer streets — and still the benchmark for NYC cycling grit.

It’s tough. It’s historic. It’s unforgettable.

To complete this route is to join an elite club of riders who have truly conquered New York by bike. It’s an emotional, physical, and mental challenge — but the reward? Legendary.

Highlights may include:

  • Iconic NYC bridges

  • A full sweep through Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx

  • Greenway stretches and outer borough gems

  • Dozens of neighborhoods, countless memories

You already know if this ride is calling your name. So: Are you ready to earn your place in NYC cycling history?
