Bicycling on Staten Island NYC
Staten Island doesn't have many bike paths, and the few they have don't provide much protection.
Click here to view a report about bike laws in NYC so you can ride safely. There's a program called Citi Bikes, which allows you to rent a bike using your credit card. Whereever you find bike racks filled with blue bicycles - take a closer look and it's probably a Citi Bike rack and you can rent a bike from there and return it to any of their racks around NYC.
I'm working on a useable map of bike trails in Staten Island, of which there are more than I first thought. In the photo to your right, are the 5 Boro Bike Riders cycling through NYC.
