The Surprising Bronx Bicycle Tour
This tour explores the lesser-known joys of the Bronx, from hanging sausages to Hollywood blockbusters! This tour starts with a ride into the South Bronx, one of the most notoriously run-down areas of the country that is currently undergoing a revitalization with an increase in hip bars and galleries.
You'll also bike through a surprisingly suburban area of the borough, which has now lost any traces of what was previously likened to a bombed-out Berlin at the close of World War II, as your bike jives to salsa, merengue, and Mexican ranchera music. Then, although still pedaling in America, a ride through Crotona Park brings you to another area of the Bronx that transports you back to the era of Doo Wop singers and makes you daydream about Italy.
Lunch in Little Italy in the Bronx involves exploring markets stocked with hanging sausages, fresh pasta, gourmet sandwiches, and delectable pastries. You pass by shops that pound out bumpers, work on transmissions, and shape auto bodies as you leave the Arthur Avenue neighborhood. As you ascend several Bronx hills and arrive at the spectacular campus of Bronx Community College, which serves as the site of the Hollywood films "A Beautiful Mind" and "Sophie's Choice," as well as the first-ever "Hall of Fame," you will start to experience the genuine topography of the Bronx.
