Is it doable on a bike?

I used to do this every weekend on my bike. Not just totally doable but extremely fun. The worse part is the east side from lower Manhattan to 14th st because there was no bike path back then. The bike path on the west side is beautiful and uninterrupted.

One time I was riding up the west side to the lighthouse and the wind was so strong that I didn't have to pedal. Getting home was not fun :)

Great views though.

I saw lots of people talking about doing this on a bike! I am not a good biker, so I can’t but one could. On the east river side it will get tricky just like walking was so you will need to cut inland.

You can approximate it on a bike. It would be difficult to do exactly the same route because there is a pedestrian bridge in a park on the west side that has several steps and no ramp -- you'd have to carry your bike. In addition, the trail in Inwood Hill Park is narrow, stony, and has roots. I'm not even sure that you're allowed to take a bike on it.
