Bicycle Sundays are a beloved Westchester tradition since 1974. Over 60,000 participants each year bike, walk, and jog a 13.1-mile loop of the Bronx River Parkway from White Plains to Yonkers.
For over 40 years, since community leaders recognized the importance of environmental preservation and promotion of a healthy, fit lifestyle, people have gathered on Sundays in May, June, and September to join the traffic-free route. Robison is proud to support Westchester Parks Foundation in being a part of an event that so many residents of Westchester County, and beyond, look forward to each year.
Since 2012, this program has been funded solely by Westchester Parks Foundation and its partners. No public funding goes towards keeping this program going.
Without WPF and its partners’ efforts, the future of Bicycle Sundays is not guaranteed. Click here to support the Bicycle Sundays Fund and your donation will go towards funding this program in future years.
During Bicycle Sundays, the parkway is open exclusively for bicyclists, in-line skaters, scooters, walkers, and joggers from Exit 22 at the Westchester County Center to Exit 4 at Scarsdale Road in Yonkers. The round-trip distance is 13 miles. The road is closed to automobiles in that stretch of the parkway. Admission is free. Parking at the County Center lot in White Plains costs $8.
