Brooklyn Bridge Waterfront Guided Bike Tour

Overview

We'll see Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn Bridge Park and the DUMBO warehouse district. After a quick tour of City Hall area, we roll over the Brooklyn Bridge with stops for the perfect photo ops of the gorgeous Wall Street skyline. While there, I'll share historical insights into the twin icons of New York City's East River: the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. We'll continue on to the charming brownstone streets of Brooklyn. After a stop at the beautiful Promenade, we'll zip through NYC's newest, most innovative and beautiful 85-acre waterfront playground, the Brooklyn Bridge Park (just opened in 2010). There will be stops and photo ops galore in the shabby-chic shipping and warehouse districts of DUMBO, Vinegar Hill and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. You’ll get a peek into the history of Brooklyn’s shipping industry that once thrived on these docks and cobblestone streets.

What To Expect

City Hall Park

Historic park where General George Washington read the Declaration of Independence, surrounded by City Hall, Municipal Building, Tweed Courthouse, the Woolworth Building and other icons of the city.

Brooklyn Bridge

John Augustus Roebling's masterpiece combines engineering and art. We'll ride over with lots of stops for pictures of the Manhattan and Brooklyn skylines.

Brooklyn Heights

Brooklyn Heights is where we'll find elegant 19th century brownstones on quiet, tree lined streets. See why Matt Damon, Paul Giamatti and Emily Blunt and John Krasinski made this neighborhood their home.

Brooklyn Heights Promenade

The Promenade of Brooklyn Heights is bar none, the best place in New York City to appreciate the soaring skyline of Wall Street's towers. We'll stop here.

Brooklyn Bridge Park

NYC's newest park sits beneath the bridge. Opened in 2010, and still just getting finished up, this 85 acre park is a post-industrial repurposing of six abandoned commercial shipping piers.

Dumbo

DUMBO was once a bustling hub of shipping and industry with many 19th century warehouses. It has been reborn today as a glamourous neighborhood that is at once both glitzy and gritty.

Manhattan Bridge

We'll head back to Manhattan Bridge, affording us bird's eye views of north Brooklyn, Queens and the East River.

John V. Lindsay East River Park

We'll return to the shop via the East River Park and swing through parts of Chinatown and the historic South Street Seaport.

I love cycling. And it is my mission to cycle in as many cities and countries around the world as possible. The Brooklyn Bridge Waterfront Guided Tours was just the tour I wanted to take in New York, after having cycled in and around the Central Park in my last USA visit, back in 2016. The main attraction: cycling over the magnificent Brooklyn Bridge. And the tour didn't disappoint. Scott, our host, was very good and what really stood out about him was the fact that he was very communicative in the days leading up to the actual tour; reaching out, giving us enough instructions as to where to meet and making sure that we know he is on top of things. For someone like me, who was visiting the USA from a foreign land (India), this helps. The tour was great. Cycles were in good condition. He guided us all through the busy roads really well. The ride was terrific, especially across the Brooklyn bridge. Brooklyn was also very beautiful. We saw so many cyclists there; NY and Brooklyn is a very cycle-friendly place. We had a small stop at the Time-Out market at Brooklyn. I really loved the tour. Do not miss this one, if you are travelling to NY. it's absolutely worth it.
