Car-free New York!
The Big Apple without pips is NYC without cars! It's the event of a day: the famous Five Boro Bike Tour - the equivalent of the Tour de l'Île de Montréal -, an early May classic since 1977. You, your bike, the iconic Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building, and thousands of cyclists happy to hold the keys to the city! You start at the corner of Church and Franklin Streets, and cycle 68 km through Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and then, after crossing the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Staten Island, where it all ends in a festive atmosphere. And to make sure you don't miss a thing in the city that doesn't sleep, your hotel is located in Manhattan's Chelsea district.
