The annual celebration, which takes place in October, will feature 15 events across the five boroughs this year.
The initiative is an important one in New York City, which averages 22 cycling deaths per year.
The series of programs is designed to encourage safe cycling and fun, sustainable, healthy activities.
"Biketober is a reminder that cycling is a sustainable, healthy, and fun way to get around-and it can also be the fastest," said New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez.
The agency is organizing street closures for some areas for people to ride without having to worry about cars.
You can join in group rides or check out the city's new self-guided ride.
Among the many events include helmet fittings, riding lessons, repairs and bike light giveaways.
The city will also hand out safety equipment for delivery workers.
Below is a list of planned events for the Biketober celebration. You can also find more information on the city's website.
