 Mt. Kisco, NY - Westchester’s popular and longest-running recreational program, Bicycle Sundays on the Bronx River Parkway, will resume this fall on four consecutive Sundays starting September 7, and will run every Sunday through September 28.
During Bicycle Sundays, everyone in the family can have fun together as a portion of the Bronx River Parkway closes to vehicle traffic and opens for the exclusive use of bicyclists, in-line skaters, scooters and new this past spring, joggers, walkers and those with strollers.
The program runs from 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The 13.1-mile round-trip course begins at the Westchester County Center in White Plains and runs south to Scarsdale Road in Yonkers. There are many points of access along the route.
Bicycle Sundays is presented by Westchester County Parks. Exclusive media sponsor is 100.7 WHUD Radio.
In accordance with New York State law, all bicyclists and skaters under age 14 are required to wear a helmet, even those riding in bike trailers. Children under age one are not permitted on bicycles or on a separate seat attached to bicycles.
Bicycle Sundays is part of Be Fit Westchester, a county-wide effort to get people to eat smarter and play harder every day. To join Be Fit, log on to www.westchestergov.com/fitness.
