Spin City Bike Shop is on Queens Boulevard and 73rd Road. Great store!
Watch for traffic!
"The Crescents" are very cute and private. Speed bumps. Watch for cars.
Watch for cars and pedestrians. 63rd Drive is a neighborhood commercial street with grocery stores, etc.
Be very careful crossing to Eliot Avenue. Use the crosswalks. Walk your bike iff you need to.
Start of big hill.
Be careful! Busy conduit through cemetery starts here. Very narrow sidewalk!! No shoulder.
Kinda confusing. Residential and a lot of one-ways. You don't need to follow these streets exactly. The goal is to get to Grand Avenue.
You don't need to go this way to get to Grand Avenue. We just like the industrial architecture.
Start of industrial stretch.
Great views of Manhattan skyline to your right (west.)
Trendy, artsy area to the west, on other side of Rte 278 (Brooklyn-Queens Expressway)
Ready for return route!
Improved and clearly marked bike lanes. Great! Easy to follow.
Classic apartment buildings. Rolling route. Very clear bike lane. Watch for hot-dogging teens on bikes.
Louis Armstrong's House and Museum not too far from here, on 104th Street around 37th Avenue.
Enjoy ices at Lemon Ice King of Corona and some bacce ball at the park on Corona Avenue and 108th Street.
Take a break and enjoy The New York City Panorama on the second floor of the Queens Museum, right in front of the Unisphere
Watch for flooding. This park was a former swamp. The paths are very prone to puddling and mud. Lots of marsh birds in spring and summer.
Watch for cars using this service road to enter Van Wyck Expressway.
Very short but very, very steep hill.
Top of hill!! Yay!
