The route
The truck runs I-95 north through Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Wilmington, then the New Jersey Turnpike to the George Washington Bridge or the tunnels into the city. Tolls and traffic make this short route more complicated than the miles suggest.
Seasonal notes
New York riding season runs roughly April through October. Many New York riders ship south for the winter, and spring brings bikes back north. Summer traffic on I-95 is heavy, so flexible timing helps.
Arriving in New York City
Delivery in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens almost always means meeting at a spot where a large truck can stop legally, since most streets have no room and many parkways ban commercial vehicles. Deliveries to Staten Island, Long Island, Westchester, and North Jersey are usually simpler. Riders head up Route 9W to Bear Mountain and into the Catskills.
