We'll lunch on Roosevelt Island then take the tram, with your bike, to Manhattan/Central Park. I recommend that you print and bring a cue sheet. Bring you camera/gopro with lots of 'film'. | A NY tour consisting of 3 islands, 4 bridges, and a tram.

You will have to carry your bike up and down modest stairs on the RFK bridge and the tram destination in Manhattan. Almost any kind of (not too heavy) 2-wheeled bike will work on this tour, e.g. road, hybrid, mountain. Most of the ride is on greenways, bridges, parks, or marked bike lanes. Central Park is closed to cars on weekends. Bring money or credit cards for the tram and food. There's a new, in 2022, Nellie Bly Monument (an American investigative journalist widely known for faking insanity in order to be admitted to the asylum on Blackwell Island - today's Roosevelt Island - so she could report on the horrors there).
