NEW YORK, N.Y. — Bike New York has announced that registration for the 48th edition of the TD Five Boro Bike Tour has opened on Sept. 17.
Scheduled for Sunday, May 3, 2026, the Tour is the largest cycling event in the United States and the world’s biggest charitable bike ride, drawing 32,000 riders from all 50 states and more than 40 countries.
The event offers participants a unique opportunity to experience New York City from the best vantage point: atop a bicycle.
The 40-mile, car-free route takes cyclists through all five boroughs, passing iconic landmarks, crossing bridges, and culminating in a lively Finish Festival on Staten Island.
“The TD Five Boro Bike Tour is more than just a ride,” said Ken Podziba, CEO and president of Bike New York. “It’s a one-of-a-kind chance to take in New York’s landmarks and neighborhoods from the best vantage point—on two wheels—while creating memories that last a lifetime and joining a movement that’s opening cycling to everyone.”
Proceeds from the Tour benefit Bike New York’s free education and advocacy programs, which reach tens of thousands of New Yorkers each year. Programs include:
Bike Path: A workforce development initiative that helps formerly incarcerated individuals gain skills to become bike mechanics and secure jobs maintaining the Citi Bike fleet.
Youth Programs: Providing Learn to Ride classes, safe cycling instruction, and group rides to build the next generation of cyclists.
Advocacy: Campaigns focused on promoting safer, more equitable streets across New York City.
Whether you’re a first-time rider, a seasoned cyclist, or traveling from abroad, the TD Five Boro Bike Tour offers an unforgettable way to experience New York City—car-free and alongside 32,000 fellow cyclists.
