Westchester County's popular Bicycle Sundays kicked off its 40th season along the Bronx River Parkway Sunday, with cycling enthusiasts of all ages participating. The program has continued thanks to the generous financial support from Con Edison and Friends of Westchester County Parks, donating $20,000 each.
The public private partnership was established by County Executive Robert P. Astorino in 2012, in order to maintain this long running and beloved program while reducing the county tax levy for residents.
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 runs from the Westchester County Center in White Plains, south to Scarsdale Road in Yonkers, a round-trip of 13.1 miles. There are many points of entry and exit along the way. Parking is available at the County Center lot in White Plains for a fee of $5.
Bicycle Sundays continue:
- June 8, 15, 22 and 29
- Sept. 7, 14, 21 and 28
Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
In the event of inclement weather, Bicycle Sundays will be cancelled. For cancellation information, call the County Center at (914) 995-4050 or go to www.countycenter.biz.
