| Stilt walkers helped entertain the crowds at the start of the 2007 Commerce Bank Five Boro Bike Tour. | Sirius Radio's Cousin Brucie warmed up with riders before they got going. | And the ride is off! |

| Riders were happy to start rolling on this cool, sunny day. | Colorful banners lined the route along Avenue of the Americas. | Heading north through Midtown, the Tour passes landmarks such as the Empire State Building. |

| A steel drum band entertained riders in front of a Commerce Bank store at West 55th Street | Seeing Central Park in full bloom is a highlight for many. | The route through the borough of the Bronx darts from one bridge to another. |

 |
| Biking on FDR Drive is a hoot! | The Tour exits Manhattan via the Queensboro Bridge. | Welcome to Queens, borough #3. |

| The East River waterfront in Astoria, Queens. | At the Con Ed Rest Area, some riders are taking their rest literally. | New York's most famous bridge crosses over the Tour in Brooklyn, borough #4. |

 |
| The Manhattan skyline recedes into the distance as cyclists head south, with a tailwind assist, on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. | Happy arrivals at the Festival on Staten Island, the fifth borough. | New York Sports Club stretch machines helped work out the kinks after a full day of riding. |

 |
| Tasty snacks helped fuel riders for 42 miles. Here, a sample of Snapple's green tea. | This group spent a bit more time preparing their Tour-day outfits than most. | An optional new scenic loop from the Festival through Fort Wadsworth afforded magnificent views of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and New York Harbor. |
 |
 |
|
| Due to mechanical problems on two ferries, there was a considerable wait to board at the end of the day. | Delay or no, the ferry ride across New York Harbor provides a magnificent end to the Tour. |
