Dear Neighbors,
Tour De Bronx, the tristate area’s most beloved cycling event, is back to celebrate its 28th year!
Today, the Office of the Bronx Borough President will join with the Bronx Tourism Council, and Montefiore Einstein, Transportation Alternatives, Essen Health Care, Village Care, and other sponsors to announce the official kick-off of Tour De Bronx 2022.
Tour De Bronx is an annual free cycling event offering riders a 25-mile course through historic districts, beautiful waterfronts, and lush greenways while passing through neighborhoods rich in culture and diversity. The annual event attracts both skilled and beginner cyclists while encouraging alternative modes of transportation and fitness in the Borough.
The ride will officially begin on October 23, 2022, at 10:09 a.m. on 161st Street and the Grand Concourse and conclude with a free festival and concert at the New York Botanical Garden.
Despite being significantly downsized as a result of the CoViD-19 pandemic, the event has only grown in popularity. This year it will be open to 1,000 riders from across the borough and tristate area and to accommodate its growing popularity, virtual self-guided 10- and 40-mile ride options will also be available to cyclists on October 24, 2022.
Join us today for the launch of Tour De Bronx 2022!
See you there,
Vanessa Gibson
Bronx Borough President
