Bicycle Sundays on the Bronx River Parkway, one of Westchester’s longest-running and popular recreational programs, starts Sunday, May 3. The program is held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The series runs May 3, 10 and 17, June 7, 14, 21 and 28, and September 13, 20 and 27. There are no dates in July or August.
