In the meantime, we're planning a bunch of awesome riding routes for the summer. Here are our picks for the best places to bike with kids in Manhattan and beyond.

Check out the following resources, grab a pair of binoculars, and head out into the great outdoors to see how many cute little birdies your family can spot.
