We recommend that participants driving to the TD Five Boro Bike Tour carpool and park in Staten Island in the morning. You can pre-book your parking spot at the Empire Outlets garage in Staten Island, and have peace of mind knowing you have a guaranteed spot on event day. Parking will be easier, and you’ll avoid waiting for the ferry at the end of the day. If you park on the street, please observe all posted parking restrictions. Cars parked along the Tour Route will be towed.
We’re quite partial to this option. From anywhere in Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn, the best way to get to the Start Area is by bike. The Hudson River Greenway and Broadway both lead directly to Bowling Green. For detailed directions, use Google Maps to plan your route. Be sure to click the bicycle icon.
Note that some subway stations do not accommodate bikes. The MTA requests that participants do not bring bikes on the L/M/G trains. Visit www.mta.info for customized travel directions using TripPlanner, or call the MTA for more information by dialing 511. Check the schedule for changes as Tour day approaches.
For participants planning to travel from the Finish Festival via NYC Ferry’s St. George route – which connects St. George to Battery Park City and West 39th Street on Manhattan’s Westside – please remember that while bicycles are welcome onboard, there is limited bicycle capacity. Bicycle capacity on NYC Ferry vessels is limited to 8-10 bikes per ferry. Participants traveling via NYC Ferry are encouraged to check the NYC Ferry app or ferry.nyc for updated schedules and service alerts, and be prepared to wait if boarding with a bicycle.
One-way NYC Ferry tickets are $2.75 for individuals and $3.75 for individuals traveling with a bicycle. Remember to select the bike option when purchasing your ticket and an additional $1.00 surcharge will be applied. Suitcase-sized folding bikes that can be kept with the rider while traveling will not be charged.
Ferry service information will be provided closer to the date of the Tour.
