2013 TD Five Boro Bike Tour

Held annually the first Sunday in May, the TD Five Boro Bike Tour is America’s largest cycling event. The Tour is co-produced by Bike New York and the New York City Department of Transportation. The event provides participants the unique and fun experience to bike through all five boroughs – a 40 mile, traffic-free ride for 32,000 cyclists.

The Foundation will provide guaranteed entries for the Bike Tour to a number of bikers who pledge to raise funds for the Foundation. The bikers who participate on behalf of BEF will receive fundraising guidance as well as pre-race and race day support.
