TD Five Boro Bike Tour America’s biggest charitable bike ride The TD Five Boro Bike Tour offers cyclists the opportunity to bike through all five boroughs–Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island–on streets totally free of traffic.

OUR HISTORY
![Page 26: BIKE NEW YORK3ysui22kxkdnv72438g9qka9-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/u… · Improved and expanded infrastructure, the launch of Citi Bike, and growing environmental concerns](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050310/5f71bb5cf3987248001dbe5e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
In 1977, a group of bike advocates under the auspices of the American Youth Hostels—and in conjunction with the Board of Education—decided to put on a bike ride that would take cyclists through all five boroughs of New York City.
![Page 27: BIKE NEW YORK3ysui22kxkdnv72438g9qka9-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/u… · Improved and expanded infrastructure, the launch of Citi Bike, and growing environmental concerns](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050310/5f71bb5cf3987248001dbe5e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
At 7AM on June 12th of that year, 25O people gathered beneath the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows Park for the first annual 5 Boro Challenge. Their goal, in the words of the ride’s organizer, was “to show the city, the press, the TBTA, that a large group of bicyclists [could] safely and effectively travel throughout this city.” Turns out they showed the world.

Every year, we welcome 32,OOO cyclists from every state in the nation and dozens of countries around the world to New York City for what has become an NYC institution.

Since 1977, the city has changed, the Tour has changed, and our riders have changed. But our aim has remained the same: we want to empower more New Yorkers to grab life by the handlebars.

In 2OO4, using proceeds from the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, we established a free bike education program.

35
For the past decade, we’ve been showing kids and adults that they can safely and effectively travel throughout this great city—and beyond.
First, we teach them how to ride.

37
Then, we teach them how to do so safely, confidently, and courteously.

Then we take them on the rides of their lives.

CBECs Community Bike Education Centers In the beginning, we transported bikes to our students—now we put down roots in their communities. Since 2O11, we’ve established 13 Community Bicycle Education Centers (CBECs) across the five boroughs. These CBECs comprise a shipping container housing a fleet of 35 bikes, 35 helmets, and tools & parts.

The numbers were a bit fuzzy in the early years, but we know that since 2OO7 we’ve taught bike riding and bike safety skills to more than 69,OOO New Yorkers. We taught more than 17,000 in 2015 alone.
