Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

places to ride in NYC?

i've been pretty lazy this winter and wants to start training and build up my endurence. does anyone know a good ride in brooklyn or the city that i can do in the morning or early evening. nothing crazy, just a nice long, relatively smooth path or road? I've been told riverside park or the FDR, but i'd rather not have to cross the bridge everytime for a ride. appreciate any suggestions. thanks

Don't you live in brooklyn? Go to prospect park, it's probably the smoothest place around here to ride.
