What kind of bike is allowed on the Tour? Can I use my e-bike?

Any human-powered pedaled bike (recumbent, unicycle, tandem, tricycle, etc.) is permitted, with the exception of surrey or party bikes (equipped with steering wheels).

Class 1 pedal-assist e-bikes may be used on the Tour.

Note:  Class 2 or throttle e-bikes are not permitted on any Bike New York events, even if the throttle function is disabled.

What if I don’t have a bike? Can I rent one?

Yes! Our official Tour rental partner Unlimited Biking provides a wide variety of bikes for the Tour.

With the convenience of bike pick-up in lower Manhattan on Tour morning, and drop-off at the Staten Island Ferry (St. George Ferry Terminal), you can ensure your Tour goes smoothly.

And the best part? Proceeds from your rental help fund our free education, outreach, and advocacy programs!

Are there age restrictions for the Tour?

Yes.

Children under the age of 3 are not allowed on the Tour. 

All children ages 3 and older must be registered to participate in the Tour, and must adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Youths ages 3 to 9 must ride with an adult on a tandem bike, in a child’s seat, on a tag-along bike, or in a bike trailer.
  • Youths ages 10 to 17 may ride their own bikes, but must remain in close proximity to the adult with whom they were registered.

I plan on riding a tandem with my spouse/friend/child. Do we both need to register?

Yes.

All participants must register in order to ride in the Tour. Youths (under age 18) must be registered by a parent or guardian, and must be on the same team as their registered parent or guardian.

Children under the age of 3 are not allowed on the Tour (please see FAQ above).

What is a team? Do I have to be on a team?

A team is a collection of Standard riders who want to start in the same wave. You can join the team created by your friends and family or create a team when you register for your friends and family to join.

If you’re riding solo, you don’t have to be on a team.

Many team names are similar, so please make sure to choose the exact name (including spelling) of the team you want to join.

Note:  Bike New York Members do not join teams; you’ll automatically be grouped together. If you are a Charity rider, you’ll automatically be registered under the name of the charity for which you are fundraising.

How can I ensure that I am assigned to the same start time as my friends and family?

For Standard riders, you must be on a team together. If you are unable to create or join a team with friends and family before the team formation deadline (usually in late March or early April), you may start with them in the later of your group’s assigned waves.

Note:  VIPs and Bike New York Members do not form teams; you’ll automatically be grouped together. 

Can I create a team if I'm already registered?

Yes! Here’s how to create/join a team after you’ve already registered (Standard riders only):

  • Log into your EnMotive account
  • On your account page, click on Registrations on the left side and find your 2024 Tour registration
  • Click on the three dots, then View Registration
  • Click on Join Team
  • In the Add Details section you’ll see Team
  • In the dropdown, you can create or join a team
  • Click Continue, and you’re all set to go!

Note: Many team names are similar, so please make sure to choose the exact name (including spelling) of the team you want to join.

I'm a Bike New York Member; can my friends and family ride with me in the first wave?

If your friends and family are Bike New York Members, they will automatically be placed in Standard Wave 1 with you.

If you want to ride with friends or family who are not Bike New York Members, you may start with them in their assigned wave.

Please note:  any person you register must sign the Tour waiver in order to complete their registration (with the exception of riders under age 18, who must have their waiver signed by the adult registering them).

Where does the money from my Tour registration fee go? What portion of my registration fee is tax deductible?

The early bird price for Standard registration is $134.00 (plus processing fees), $29.00 of which is a tax-deductible charitable donation. VIP registration is $400.00 (plus processing fees), $94 of which is a tax-deductible charitable donation.

All Tour registration fees are non-refundable and non-deferrable.

I deferred my past Tour entry but did not redeem it. What are my options now?
