Grand Island bridge to close for bikes

I have pedaled across the Grand Island Bridges. The signs say please walk your bike but no one does. Going downhill is tough because like heading into Lewiston past Fort Grey, speed is easy. Stopping? Not so much.

You can register to participate here.

Here’s what GoBike Buffalo had to say about it last week via email.

Celebrate the 100th anniversary of your New York State Parks on Sunday, September 22, 2024 for the inaugural Pedal for the Parks! Starting at Beaver Island on Grand Island, enjoy the West River Shoreline Trail as we ride through Buckhorn State Park, over the northbound GRAND ISLAND BRIDGE which will be closed to traffic and visit Niagara Falls, Whirlpool, Devils Hole and Ft. Niagara State Park (Depending on the length of ride you choose). This is the first time the bridge has been closed for a recreational event! Following the ride, join us for the after party at Beaver Island State Park!

NOTE: While we love to close down our region's highest bridges to cars so that people can cycle safely on them without the danger of nearby drivers, GObike is not an organizer of this event. We're just thrilled to spread the word about it!!!
