Yes, Staten Island has beaches, two of them. South Beach and Midland Beach. But, South Beach has a fishing pier and good facilities. So, you can fish, swim, sunbathe or just have lunch. Speaking of which, we'll stop at a supermarket that has a bakery with fresh buns etc. and a deli that can turn it into a sandwich. There's fresh fruit, snacks and such. So, meet at City Hall, take a cruise across the bay(free), ride your bike(free), create your lunch(cheap), fish, swim and sunbathe (all for free and in 20ish miles). If I do say so, sounds like an idyllic bike lovers summer day. The pace is easy and it's "mostly" flat except Fort Wadsworth. But, hurry! We're more than halfway through Summer! Let's catch some rays! The beaches are calling!
