NEW YORK (WABC) -- More than 32,000 cyclists of all skill levels participated in the 40-mile charitable bike ride throughout the five boroughs.
The first wave of cyclists began biking at 7:30 a.m. in Lower Manhattan at the intersection of Franklin Street and Church Street. Riders are racing through each borough until they reach the finish line in Ford Wadsworth, Staten Island.
Co-organized by Bike New York, the tour helps fund free bike education programs and equip people with the skills needed to ride safely and confidently on city streets.
You can find more information about the event on Bike New York's website.
The bike tour helps raise money for 'Bike New York,' which offers education programs throughout New York City.
