This is so cool. I miss biking (something I did daily when I lived upstate). Glad to see this was well attended (sold out) & the weather was gorgeous. Also, it's for a good cause.

"Bike New York produce the charitable ride each year. We have a program called Bike Path, where we train formerly incarcerated New Yorkers to become bike mechanics, then Citi Bike’s hiring them", Podziba said. “We’re trying to transform lives through bicycling.”

I did this a long time ago. The hardest part was going through Central Park, (I couldn't stop sneezing from all the pollen), and then came the Verrazano Bridge, which by then, I was too weak to peddle up to the center. I'd do it again, but with an electric bike

Overpriced to sit in bike traffic.

I did it many years ago as well. Use to be cheap and got a lot of sponsored goodies.

I wonder if wearing a mask would have helped...

I did this 5 boro bike race a few times. It was fun. The hardest part is definitely going over the Verazanno bridge at the end. I'd consider doing it again.
