Yesterday I had the good fortune to have a lovely ride in NYC. We drove up to the Ferry at Weehawken and put our bikes on the boat and were delivered downtown on about 8 minutes. Easy as catching a subway. We walked about 30' outside of the dock building and we were on the bike path. The bike path took us to the battery park area and to the Governors Island ferry. Another short ride, we were on the island. This is an old military base that was converted into a park. They have lots to see, two historic forts, great views, museums, a police car show, oyster hatchery and a large outdoor food court.
