New York City Cycling Map

The New York City Cycling Map is an annual free publication of DOT. Over 375,000 will be distributed this year from bicycle shops, libraries, and schools. You can also order your free copy by calling 311 (outside New York City, call 212-NEW-YORK).
The 2012 map has been completely redesigned. The city is no longer divided onto two halves, and a detailed inset gives a better view onto Manhattan, and adjoining parts of the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens.

Map Your Bike Route

In addition to the paper map, there are multiple online options for finding bike routes as well. HopStop and Google offer directions by bike, as does Ride the City (below) is based on the NYC Cycling Map and user feedback. Simply enter your starting address and destination address or drag the cyclist icon to your start and finish location and a suggested route will be generated for you.

These routes are generated by Ride the City, a private web service that that uses the NYC Bicycle Map to help cyclists plan safe routes. Please report any problems you find with the route suggestions directly to Ride the City. Cyclists are cautioned to follow all traffic laws and devices.
