Bike New York

About

Bike New York is a prominent non-profit organization dedicated to empowering New Yorkers and their communities through bicycling. Founded in 2000, its history is rooted in the 1977 "Five Boro Challenge," which evolved into the world-famous TD Five Boro Bike Tour, the largest charitable bike ride in the U.S. The organization uses proceeds from its events to fund the largest free bicycle education program of its kind, teaching bike skills to over 100,000 kids and adults since 2007. Beyond the Tour, Bike New York offers free education programs across the five boroughs, organizes smaller community rides, and advocates for cycling as a safe, practical, sustainable, and healthy means of transportation and recreation. It is a major proponent of cycling in New York City.
