Several highlighted bike routes run right through Farmingdale, especially the Bethpage Bikeway and Bethpage State Park trails, offering flat, family-friendly paths, nearby restrooms, and easy access from town. You'll also find dozens of other Long Island options, from coastal boardwalks to challenging mountain bike loops.
   

• LIRR Ronkonkoma Branch service partially suspended due to downed utility poles (abc7ny.com) — If you rely on the Ronkonkoma Branch from Farmingdale, expect serious delays tonight: trains are not running between Hicksville and Farmingdale, with only limited shuttles between Farmingdale and Ronkonkoma.
