Commerce Bank Five Boro Bike Tour
Unfortunately, no new entries are being accepted, as the event reached its capacity of 30,000 riders on April 4. If you wish to participate next year, please be sure to register early. In the meantime, you are welcome to ride with us at our other events and educational programs.
Those of you already signed up will get to ride car-free through New York City as part of the largest recreational cycling event in America and the ultimate tour of this great biking town. Read the Ride Guide in your Program or download a copy (PDF) here for full Tour day details.
The journey starts in Lower Manhattan. You'll head north through the heart of Manhattan to Central Park and continue on to historic Harlem and the Bronx, returning south along the East River on the FDR Drive. From there you'll cross into Queens and then Brooklyn, where cyclists take over the highway before making the thrilling climb up--and down--the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to Staten Island. The route is 42 miles, mostly flat except for the bridges. Route Details >
When the Tour reaches Staten Island, there's a celebratory Festival at Fort Wadsworth in Gateway National Recreation Area. Relax, grab a bite to eat, check out bike-related exhibits, and shop for official Tour gear and other goodies. Once you're ready to go, you'll have three more miles to the Staten Island Ferry back to Manhattan.
