Adventure Cycling Chicago to New York

If youre planning or riding between Chicago and New York by bicycle, this is a must-have app! Cities, small towns, farmland, forests, roads, and trails — this route has it all! The Chicago to New York City Bicycle Route includes a main route and the Philadelphia Alternate, which goes between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and New York City. Heading east from Chicago you’ll go through Indianapolis, Columbus, and Pittsburgh. In Pittsburgh you can choose to follow the main route, which crosses Pennsylvania into New Jersey. It then enters New York City from the north. If you choose the Philadelphia Alternate you’ll ride the Great Allegheny Passage and a portion of the C&O Canal Trail in Maryland. After leaving Philadelphia, the route goes east to the New Jersey shore and ends with a ferry ride into New York City from the south.

Purchase route and services data directly from the app. Similar to the physical maps, it has the information you need on the road. Show or hide bicycling services such as campsites, bike shops, lodging, and towns. See current wind speed and direction along the route. Use embedded Google search for even more services. Calculate distance between two points on the route and see the elevation profile. Switch between Google maps and OpenCycleMap for even more detail, and download the map so it works without cell service.
