I bicycle across the Potomac and Anacostia rivers regularly. I have even crossed the Charles, Chicago  and Susquehanna rivers on two wheels previous previously. I walked across the Golden Gate Bridge (some of it at least) and the entirety of the Brooklyn Bridge. The GWB was an obvious one to check off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pedaling up the Hudson River Greenway which is part of <a href=\"https:\/\/empiretrail.ny.gov\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/empiretrail.ny.gov\/\"><strong>Empire State Trail<\/strong><\/a>, getting to the GWB is a steep, serpentine climb. It&#8217;s no surprise since the Hudson is sea level and the bridge span is as high as 212 feet above the water. The path crosses over the Henry Hudson Parkway and onto upper Manhattan streets. The Northwalk entrance is a gateway with more hairpin turns to enter the main span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55258666936_541b21719a_b.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Bicycling towards NJ on the George Washington Bridge Northwalk. Photo by William F. Yurasko\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Northwalk never feels too s<em>teep and had hig<\/em>h fences that are comforting. It&#8217;s quite a contrast to say, the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge over the Potomac or the <a type=\"post\" href=\"https:\/\/yurasko.net\/wfy\/2023\/11\/crossing-the-ben-franklin-bridge-by-train-and-bicycle\/\" id=\"31191\"><strong>Ben Franklin over the Delaware<\/strong><\/a>. The path is fairly wide, though the suspender cables narrow it, but they were manageable on a May Saturday afternoon. There is very little grade as well &#8211; the palisades on either side informed where the bridge was built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signage and wayfinding is good as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55259072030_f5f544ee28_z.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Biking and hiking signage near the George Washington Bridge\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55257770312_c92b78b1e9_z.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"George Washington Bridge Northwalk signage\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Southwalk is currently closed for suspender ropes replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55257770337_b29fbd0c10_b.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"George Washington Bridge Southwalk closed sign\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video &#8211; crossing from NJ to NY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"George Washington Bridge - bicycling from NJ to NY (sped up)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WPp6NKgIGro?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br>I am not sure how much faster this is than real time&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, Google Maps does not include the cycling layer in embeds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d9043.469743275604!2d-73.96053178007962!3d40.852207096896336!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x89c2f6bc455b6a23%3A0xd5c480b26137a685!2sGeorge%20Washington%20Brg!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1783199951631!5m2!1sen!2sus\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55259071975_81ffe2da51_b.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Break Away Cafe storefront sign in upper Manhattan\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">I stopped for a snack at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakawaycafenyc.com\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.breakawaycafenyc.com\/\"><strong>Break Away Cafe<\/strong><\/a> which is also a bike shop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">This is the second river\/bridge I&#8217;ve biked across that&#8217;s part of Interstate 95 &#8211; the other being the <a href=\"https:\/\/yurasko.net\/wfy\/2009\/06\/the-wilson-bridge-trail-is-wonderful\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"4303\"><strong>Wilson Bridge<\/strong><\/a> between Alexandria and Oxon Hill.
