Bicycle Sundays Extended Throughout the Summer

Social Distancing Rules in Effect

By Lisa Dunleavy April 27, 2020

Bicycle Sundays on the Bronx River Parkway will now run throughout the summer. The 46th Annual Bicycle Sundays 2020 season continues Sundays in June, July, August and September – except for 4th of July and Labor Day weekends. During this annual event, bicyclists, skaters, joggers and walkers take over several miles of the Bronx River Parkway from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.. The course will be slightly modified this year, beginning at Main Street in White Plains (instead of Westchester County Center) and continue south to Scarsdale Road in Yonkers. 

It is recommended that participants wear a mask or a face covering in situations like this where social distancing may not always be able to be maintained.

The Bicycle Sundays route is between White Plains and Yonkers. There are numerous points of entry along the route. Although parking will be available in the Westchester County Center east parking lot, participants will follow signs and directions to enter the route at Main Street once they exit their cars. Bicycle Sundays are free and open to the public.

Remaining dates for Bicycle Sundays include: 

  • June 28
  • July 12, 19, 26
  • August 2, 9, 16, 23, 30
  • Sept 13, 20, 27

Bicycle Sundays are a beloved Westchester tradition since 1974. Since 2012, this program has been funded solely by Westchester Parks Foundation and its partners. No public funding goes towards keeping this program going. Each year, more than 60,000 thousand cyclists, joggers and others come out to enjoy the curves and wooded scenery that make the nation’s first parkway a national historic landmark. The path winds alongside the wooded Bronx River Reservation. For more information visit the Westchester Parks Foundation website.
