The largest mass cycling
event in the United States took off from Battery Park in
Manhattan and traveled through the five boroughs of New
York City on 42 miles of traffic-free streets, avenues,
highways and bridges.
The Great Five
Boro Bike Tour is a relatively easy ride through
Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island.
You have time to enjoy beautiful views of New York
appearing over your handlebars.
This PhotoTour shows you
what is was like on this beautiful Sunday morning!
By
far the easiest, quickest way to the start lies
underground.
The NYC subway exit was one block from
the long line of eager cyclists.
Here's
what ground level looked like.
This
cool yet very clear and crisp day made the controlled
insanity of the start fairly enjoyable. Click here for bike rentals NYC.
