You are Sooooo Right.

I go only to the Brooklyn Bridges South Side Pier...get off and take a picture....then get off of the tou route (along with Many Others that know not to go to Staten Island) and cross over the Brooklyn Bridge.

I continue to take that back home to Riverdale...so my tour is actually longer than the 40plus miles and I'm home before noon.

My first year (before I went over the Verrazano) I felt as if I could ride around the city a 2nd time--the waiting in the sun and the whole ferry experience wiped out my energy completely---It's cool that you actually see some of the Bronx on the way back home too

hey the video makes sense i could imagine what its like getting on the ferry after..Im planning to do the tour next year, but i LIVE in Staten Island...about 2.5 miles from where the tour ends..can't wait, oh btw, do they really not allow headphones? how much do they enforce it?

[Steveinthetube]

headphones? never heard of any problem w/ them

OK, I'll call it The 4 Boro Bike Tour!

[Steveinthetube]

I wasn't being negative by warning people who might not be aware of what to expect

[Steveinthetube]

True, but that applies for the first few hundred people. What about the rest?
