NEW YORK (WABC) — More than 30,000 cyclists are taking to the streets once again on Sunday for the TD Five Boro Bike Tour in New York City.
This year marks the 47th anniversary of the event, which features a 40-mile cross-borough, charitable bike ride to cyclists of all skill levels.
The first wave of cyclists began biking at 7:30 a.m. at the intersection of Franklin Street and Church Street. Riders make their way up to the Bronx, back down the FDR Drive, across to Queens and then down to Brooklyn before reaching the finish line in Staten Island.
Co-organized by Bike New York, the tour helps fund free bike education programs and equip people with the skills needed to ride safely and confidently on city streets.
You can find more information about the event on Bike New York’s website.
