Children under the age of 3 are not allowed on the Tour. 

All children ages 3 and older must be registered to participate in the Tour, and must adhere to the following guidelines:

• Youths ages 3 to 9 must ride with an adult on a tandem bike, in a child’s seat, on a tag-along bike, or in a bike trailer.
• Youths ages 10 to 17 may ride their own bikes, but must remain in close proximity to the adult with whom they were registered.

Yes. All participants must register in order to ride in the Tour. Youths must be registered by a parent or guardian, and must be on the same team as their registered parent or guardian. Children under the age of 3 are not allowed on the Tour (please see FAQ above).

A team is a collection of Standard riders who want to start in the same wave. You can join the team created by your friends and family or create a team when you register for your friends and family to join. If you’re riding solo, you don’t have to be on a team.

Please note: Bike New York Members do not join teams; you’ll automatically be grouped together. If you are a Charity rider, you’ll automatically be registered under the name of the charity for which you are fundraising.

For Standard riders, you must be on a team together. If you were unable to create or join a team with friends and family before the team formation deadline, you may start with them in the later of your group’s assigned waves.

Please note:  VIPs and Bike New York Members do not need to form teams; you’ll automatically be grouped together.

If your friends and family are Bike New York Members, they will automatically be placed in Standard Wave 1 with you.

If you want to ride with friends or family who are not Bike New York Members, you may start with them in their assigned wave.

The only way to guarantee a start in Wave 1 of the Tour is to register as a VIP, a Bike New York Member, or a Charity rider. All other Standard riders will be placed in Waves 2 through 6, with consideration given to your start time preference.

Yes, you may register other people for the Tour. 

Please note:  any person you register must sign the Tour waiver in order to complete their registration and have their rider kit mailed to them. Not to worry, though! We’ll email an unsigned waiver link to that person as soon as you sign them up.

No, all rider kits will be distributed at our packet pickup event (details to come in early 2024).

No. Tour registration fees are non-refundable and non-deferrable.

Proceeds from the Tour fund our free bicycle education programs as well as our advocacy work to create safer and more inclusive bike infrastructure in New York City. In 2022, we taught bike riding and bike safety skills in person and in our virtual classroom to more than 20,000 kids and adults.
