The Five Boro Bike Tour returns on Sunday, with tens of thousands of cyclists expected to attend the 40-mile charity run to raise money for free bike education programs.

The city will close major thoroughfares to make commuting easier on Sunday, including parts of FDR Drive, the BQE, the Ed Koch-Queensboro Bridge and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.

Programs supported by the tour reach 30,000 New Yorkers a year, according to Bike New York, the nonprofit that organizes the tour.

“New York’s future is on two wheels,” said Mayor Eric Adams said in a letter published by the organization. “Bike New York has been an important ally in our united mission to promote cycling, protect and empower cyclists in our city, and encourage forms of movement that reduce congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. .”

The city estimates 32,000 cyclists will participate in the ride, taking them from the Battery to the Bronx, down FDR Drive to the Queensboro Bridge and Astoria before heading south through Brooklyn and finally over the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. .

A “Finish Festival” will be held at the 40 mile bar from the Empire Outlets shopping center in Brighton Heights, just around the corner from the Staten Island Ferry.

The MTA is encouraging cyclists to use the Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road to enter the city, temporarily suspending bicycle permit requirements on Saturday and Sunday. Subway stations the agency prefers to use include Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall, Bowling Green, the three stops at Chambers Street, World Trade Center, and Cortlandt Street.

The transport authority is also asking riders not to use Fulton Street, whether Wall Street, Park Place, Rector Street or Whitehall Street stations “as they are not well equipped to handle large volumes of bicycles”.

The streets will be closed from 7 a.m. and some will remain closed until 7 p.m.
