41st Annual 'Bicycle Sundays' Kicks Off May 3

The 41st annual Bicycle Sundays kicks off this weekend, May 3, at the Westchester County Center in White Plains.

Bicycle Sundays runs through the summer and allows bikers, joggers, skaters and walkers free reign of the Bronx River Parkway without cars, which are prohibited from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The route is just over 6.5 miles, or 13.1 miles round trip, and stretches from the County Center to Scarsdale Road in Yonkers, winding its way along the parkway through White Plains, Hartsdale, Greenburgh, Scarsdale, Eastchester and Tuckahoe.

Friends of Westchester County Parks hosts the annual event, which this year is receiving a new $20,000 donation from New York-Presbyterian Hospital to help pay the cost. Con Edison is also co-sponsoring the event.
