Bike the Block

Bike New York is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower New Yorkers to transform lives and their communities through bicycling. We accomplish this through free educational programming, dynamic public events, workforce development classes, advocating for safer and more equitable streets, expansive outreach, and collaboration with community and government organizations. Best known for producing America’s largest bike ride—the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, a ride for 32,000 cyclists through all five boroughs of New York City on 40 miles of car-free streets—Bike New York also organizes regional rides and small community rides. Proceeds from these events help fund our programs, including free bike education classes for kids and adults throughout New York City.
