2026 Bicycle Sundays! Since 1974, Westchester County residents have been enjoying the popular Bicycle Sundays program. It opens a 6.5-mile stretch of the historic Bronx River Parkway to bicyclists, skaters, joggers, and walkers on a series of Sundays throughout the warmer weather months each year. Bicycle Sundays is one of Westchester’s longest-running and popular recreational programs.

The series runs on the following dates and times:

Sept. 13, 20 and 27 (10 a.m. - 2 p.m.)

Bicycle Sundays is presented by Westchester County Parks and sponsored by Westchester Parks Foundation and its partners, through generous donations from co-presenting sponsors NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester and Con Edison, with Danny’s Cycles as the official Bicycle Sponsor.

Freedom of Speech and Due Process are two of the fundamental rights of Americans, with an enormous amount of case law accompanying it. Learn some of the deeper nuances and challenge your assumptions of these cherished rights. We'll be joined by members of the New York County Lawyers Association to discuss the nature of First Amendment rights and their legal implementation in a lively presentation of recent real-life cases. You'll hear plaintiff and defendant arguments and the judicial decisions that followed. Moreover, you'll engage with thought-provoking questions and have the chance to weigh in and offer your opinions after discussing the cases and the larger issues in small groups.

This event is offered in partnership with Braver Angels.
