2017 Update: The Five Boro Bike Tour will be Sunday, May 7th, 2017 and here is the info you need to avoid it.



The 5 Boro Bike Tour is great to participate in, but can make getting around the New York City a challenge for everyone not participating, including cyclists, pedestrians and drivers. If you are not one of the 30,000+ cyclists riding the 42 mile route on streets of all 5 Boros, here is some helpful info on getting around the 5 Boro Bike Tour, including a map, road closures and links.

For anyone inconvenienced by this recreational event, please be patient and if possible appreciate that this event allows families and kids to enjoy streets usually clogged with traffic.
