Bicycle Sundays are Back with a Celebration on May 15

Westchester Parks Foundation, formerly known as Friends of Westchester County Parks, announced the return of bicycle Sundays, which close the Bronx River Parkway for Sundays in the spring and fall for bikers, joggers and walkers.

The parkway will be closed from the Westchester County Center in White Plains, south to Scarsdale Road in Yonkers, a round-trip of 13.1 miles from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the following dates:

May 1, 8, 15, 22
June 5, 12, 19, 26
Sept 11, 18, 25

The program is supported by Con Edison and New York-Presbyterian, who each donated $20,000 for the initiative this year. To kick off the 42nd annual initiative, NewYork-Presbyterian will sponsor a celebration on Sunday, May 15, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the rest stop between Harney Road and Leewood Drive (Exits 10 and 9) on the northbound lane of the Bronx River Parkway.

There will be fun activities for everyone to enjoy, including free ice cream and water; bicycle safety reflector giveaways; and a raffle to win golf games and balls to use at county courses, tickets for Playland and premium seats to a Westchester Knicks basketball game. The party will be complete with live music on site by 100.7 WHUD radio with guest DJ Kacey Morabito Grean from Mike and Kacey in the Morning, as well as signage with fitness tips along the Bronx River Parkway.
