ニューヨーク5区を走る第30回大会が5月6日に行われこれまで最多の3万2千人が参加した。来年は5月4日に行われます。
May 6, 2007, marked the 30th anniversary of the Tour through the five boroughs of New York City. At 32,000 riders, it is the largest recreational cycling event in America. The 2008 ride will take place on Sunday, May 4.
Whether you're young or old, new to biking or an expert cyclist, you'll love riding 42 traffic-free miles. There's no better way to see New York than biking through dozens of neighborhoods and crossing scenic bridges!
The journey starts in Lower Manhattan. You'll head north through the heart of Manhattan to Central Park and continue on to historic Harlem and the Bronx, returning south along the East River on the FDR Drive. From there you'll cross into Queens and then Brooklyn, where cyclists take over the highway before making the thrilling climb up--and down--the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to Staten Island.
