“The TD BANK FIVE BORO BIKE TOUR provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for participants to experience all five boroughs of New York without motorized traffic,”
stated Bike New York Executive Director Pam Tice. “We hope that a ride through the city on May 3rd will encourage cyclists to keep up this healthy, economical, environmentally friendly habit throughout the year.”
“This premiere car-free event is an exciting introduction to this healthier, cleaner and greener way to get around the City” said NYC Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan. “It’s no surprise that commuter cycling has doubled since 2003, and we are working hard to improve the mobility and safety of all bicyclists by dramatically expanding the network of bike lanes on our streets.
