five boro bike tour
The Five Boro Bike Tour returns to the city streets for the 28th annual event, the largest recreational cycling event in the U.S. Tens of thousands of recreational cyclists, fitness enthusiasts, families and friends from around the globe will join together in lower Manhattan to kick off the 42-mile Tour through New York’s five boroughs. The tour starts in the canyons of Manhattan and travels over streets and roads, highways and bridges to a fun-filled Festival at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island. Five Rest Areas along the way have snacks and water, bathrooms and first aid, bike repair and places to reunite with friends. Twelve hundred volunteers serving as Marshals and Tour Corps help you enjoy the day.
