Schenectady sits in the Mohawk Valley's relatively flat terrain, making it practical for commuting and casual neighborhood riding year-round. The region experiences all four seasons distinctly, so local riders prepare bikes for winter and take advantage of spring through fall for both transportation and recreation. The city's grid layout and proximity to the Hudson Valley corridor draws a mix of practical commuters and weekend enthusiasts looking to escape into nearby riding country.
