The event

About the ride

The Five Boro Bike Tour is a 40-mile, car-free tour through all five boroughs of New York City, on Sunday, May 2, 2027. It is organized by Bike New York. Bridges is not running it: we are one of the teams riding it, and raising money for young adults with disabilities as we go.

Closed to cars

Streets, bridges and highways are closed to traffic for the day. The tour ends with a festival on Staten Island.

A tour, not a race

Riders go at their own pace, on any pedal-powered bike. Adults and youth can register.

Not riding? Still count

You can give to a rider, or fundraise from the sidelines. Every dollar goes to Bridges.

Riders register with Bike New York, separately from joining the Bridges team here. Dates, fees, start times and the full route are on the official Five Boro Bike Tour page (opens in a new tab).

Ride or fundraise. Both change a life.

Joining here puts you on the Bridges fundraising team and leaderboard. You do not need to ride to fundraise. If you want to ride, register for the tour itself with Bike New York. The tour is Sunday, May 2, 2027.

Bridges from School to Work is not an official charity partner of the TD Five Boro Bike Tour. This is an independent Bridges fundraising team.
