Riding Through the Summer

Summer in Brooklyn means long days, warm evenings, and plenty of cycling opportunities. But riding in the heat requires preparation and strategy to stay safe and comfortable.

Beat the Heat

  • Ride early morning or after sunset
  • Carry more water than you think you need
  • Wear light-colored, breathable clothing
  • Use sunscreen on all exposed skin
  • Plan routes with shade and water stops

Best Summer Routes

The Brooklyn Greenway offers waterfront breezes that make hot days more bearable. Coney Island is the ultimate summer destination. And Prospect Park's tree-lined loop provides natural shade.
