Bicycle Sundays to continue through October

Westchester’s recreation tradition, Bicycle Sundays will continue for two more Sundays to end the extended 2020 season on Oct. 18 and 25, 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. on the Bronx River Parkway.  There was no Bicycle Sunday on Oct. 11.

“Bicycle Sundays have provided our community with a great physical outlet during a time where most activities have not been able to take place,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer.  “I’m excited we were able to extend the program a few times this year to continue to provide this must-needed outlet
to 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 roundtrip 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 $8.

Bicycle Sundays, sponsored by Con Edison and the Westchester Parks Foundation, is presented by Westchester County Parks. Additional support is provided by 100.7 WHUD radio.
