New York City cycling infrastructure and traffic, keyless. Built for trip planning — where the protected lanes and greenways are, where to lock a bike, and how busy a corridor is right now.

What you can do

  • Bike route segments — the ~29,700 segments of the city's signed/marked bike routes with street, from/to streets, direction code, facility classification ("Protected", "Conventional", "Shared", ...) and greenway, by boro (name or code 1-5), street (auto-uppercased), classification or greenway
  • Greenway rankings — the named greenways ("Manhattan Waterfront", "Jamaica Bay", "Brooklyn Waterfront", ...) ranked by segment count; the unmarked majority sits in the top row
  • Segment count — a fast count of route segments matching a filter
  • Bike parking — the ~38,000 chainable racks and secure/community corrals with address and street, by boro, program or street
  • Corral list — the 912 secure and community bike corrals only
  • Top sensors — the busiest bike, pedestrian or scooter sensors by total counts in a lookback window (default 90 days, max 365), with street context via the flowname of search_bike_flows
  • Direction split — the in/out volume split for a travel mode over a window, to read commuter direction
  • Sensor readings — raw 15-minute interval counts (bike/pedestrian/scooter, in/out) in a lookback window, filterable by sensor id, direction or the street-context flowname; the count data is live, collected up to today

Who is this for

Cyclists and visitors planning bike trips across the city: trace protected lanes street by street, find a corral to leave a bike for hours, and check how busy a bridge or boulevard corridor is before riding. Every text filter is an exact match on the stored value: the route table stores streets UPPERCASE and the parking table mixes casings, so pass the street as it appears in a result row.

8 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

bike_direction_split

Compare the two rows to see which way a corridor carries more traffic, e.g. the commuter bias on the bridges into Manhattan. Inbound vs outbound split for a travel mode

count_bike_lanes

) or named greenway. A single fast count — use it to gauge how large a list_bike_lanes call will be, e.g. to confirm how many protected-lane segments a street has. Count NYC bike route segments matching a filter

list_bike_corrals

Filter by boro or by the stored street value. Use it when planning where to leave a bike for hours, as opposed to the chainable racks in search_bike_parking. List secure and community bike corrals

list_bike_lanes

g. "1 AV"), the from/to streets, the on/off streets, the direction code ("L", "R" or "2" for two-way), the facility classification — "Protected", "Conventional", "Shared", "Signed Route", "Wide Parking Lane", "Sidewalk" or "Curbside" (most segments are unclassified and come back null) — and the greenway it belongs to when marked. About 29,700 segments; most recently updated segments first. The street filter is an exact UPPERCASE stored value, auto-uppercased. Use it to trace the route network street by street, for planning a bike trip across the city. List NYC bike route segments

search_bike_flows

Each row is one 15-minute interval count with the sensor id, the travel mode ("bike" by default), the direction ("in" or "out"), the flowname — the street or intersection context, e.g. "87th ST. and Columbus IN" — the timestamp, the count and whether the value is raw or modified. Filter by sensor id, direction or flowname (exact stored value, e.g. "Manhattan Bridge Display Bike Counter Cyclist IN"). Hourly summary readings are excluded; the count data is live, collected up to today. Search raw traffic sensor readings

search_bike_parking

g. "Brooklyn"), the program ("Bike Racks", the 37,000+ chainable racks, or "Bike Corral", the 912 secure or community corrals with a BCxxxx group id), the site id, the full address and the street it sits on with its from/to streets. About 38,000 sites citywide. The boro filter is auto-title-cased; the program filter is an exact value; the street filter matches the stored street casing exactly (the table mixes casings, e.g. "BROADWAY" and "Broadway"), so pass it as it appears in a result row. Use it to find where a visitor can lock a bike near an attraction. Search NYC bike racks and corrals

top_bike_greenways

The top row is the unmarked majority — about 24,000 of the 29,700 segments are not on a named greenway — so a greenway's true length is the number of rows below that first one. Use it to see which protected multi-use greenways make up the city's long-distance cycling corridors. Rank named NYC bike greenways by segment count

top_bike_sensors

Each row is one sensor id (numeric) with its summed counts — the sensors publish 15-minute interval tallies, so the sum approximates how many cyclists, pedestrians or scooters passed in the window. To get street context for a sensor, call search_bike_flows with that sensor id: the flowname carries the location, e.g. "87th St. and Columbus IN" or "Manhattan Bridge Display Bike Counter Cyclist IN". The count data is live, collected up to today. Top bike, pedestrian or scooter sensors by volume

Where are the protected bike lanes on First Avenue in Manhattan?

list_bike_lanes with boro: "Manhattan" and street: "AV" (auto-uppercased to "1 AV" context aside) — pass the street as stored, e.g. street: "1 AV" — plus facilit_type: "Protected" returns the protected-lane segments on that street with their from/to streets and direction code.

How busy is the bike traffic on the Williamsburg Bridge right now?

top_bike_sensors with days: "30" ranks the busiest bike sensors; then search_bike_flows with that sensor id returns the recent 15-minute readings with the flowname (e.g. "Williamsburg Bridge Bike Path [Bike IN]"), so you can read the current volumes per direction.

Where can I leave a bike for hours in Manhattan?

list_bike_corrals with boro: "Manhattan" returns the secure and community bike corrals in Manhattan (about a third of the city's 912 corrals) with their address, site id and the street they sit on — the places to keep a bike locked for hours, unlike the chainable racks.
