5-Boro Bike Tour 2013
05 May 2013
The TD Bank 5-Boro Bike Tour is the largest mass cycling event in the USA. Thirty thousand cyclists set out from Manhattan’s Battery Park to reclaim the streets of New York City.
Taking place the first Sunday in May each year, the adventure starts in Lower Manhattan. The ride heads north through the heart of Manhattan to Central Park and continues on to historic Harlem and the Bronx, returning south along the East River on the FDR Drive. From there it crosses 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.
The ride lands on Staten Island at a fun outdoor Festival, including bike demos, a mountain bike stunt show, giveaways, games, a wonderful food concession, product samples, stretching, massage, a photo booth, and official merchandise on sale. Leave plenty of time to check out the exhibitors and activities and then visit the Fort Wadsworth Overlook for a scenic photo before continuing the final three miles to the ferry.
