Ride Description

Spring in the City: New York City Plus the 5BBT Wednesday, April 30th -- Monday, May 5th, 2025


A much beloved tour with over one hundred People Cycling Finisher Alumni since 2020. Join us Wednesday, April 30th – Monday, May 5th, 2025 for a whirlwind 6-day/5-night cycling tour of New York City as ‘the City that Never Sleeps’ celebrates the arrival of Spring across all five boroughs of New York City. In Brooklyn it’s pretty in pink as the cherry blossoms will be peaking at Sakura Matsuri, as the Brooklyn Botanic Garden hosts its annual cherry blossom festival. In the Bronx, it’s balls and strikes as the Yankees take the field. In Queens, it’s the Mets and their billionaire owner chasing the crown and on Broadway, dancers will be kicking up their heels and singers will be bringing down the house. Meanwhile, in Staten Island, our fifth and smallest borough, preparation will be under way for the party that comes at the end of the world’s largest one-day bike tour – the Five Boro Bike Tour on Sunday, (5BBT) May 4th, 2025. And the good news is that New York City is the first great post automobile city of the 21st Century with 1,400 miles of bike paths connecting the ‘Luxury City’ in new and exciting ways.

People Cycling's Ride Rating

People Cycling has four categories for our rides – Easy, Moderate, Difficult, and Challenging. It should be somewhat obvious what these categories mean, but please become familiar with the elevations and distances that define them:

Easy
Easy rides are under 30mi/48km in average distance and 1600ft/500m in average elevation
Moderate
Moderate rides are over the Easy rating but under 50mi/80km and 2460ft/750m
Difficult
Difficult rides are as over the Moderate rating but under 75mi/120km and 3280/1000m
Challenging
Anything over the Difficult rating

NOTE: This is not a strict guideline. There could be rides that have a day or two where the average elevation or distance exceeds the values given above. These anomalies should be outlined in the ride description. It is recommended that you read it carefully.

About People Cycling

People Cycling is a bicycle touring club, which you can join for free. We offer Domestic and International Cycling Tours which are led by volunteer Ride Leaders. Our tours are made up of a small group of participants (typically 15-20 or so) who want to ride an average of 30 to 55 miles a day over a one or two week period in interesting regions of the world. Our tours range in price from frugal getaways to luxurious adventures. We travel road, gravel, or mountain bike styles, and all bicycle types – including e-bikes, recumbents, and tandems are typically allowed.

Our ride leaders are volunteers and do not financially profit on tours they lead. They are also given broad discretion on how to lead their tours, and we consider them our greatest asset.

People Cycling tours are operated at cost or at lower cost (as negotiated by our ride leaders) than individuals can obtain on commercial tours. Within the cost of a tour, there is a nominal fee to support club operations and provide tools to ride leaders to manage their rides.

What are you waiting for? Join today to see what bicycle adventure awaits you in our club.

A lifetime membership in People Cycling is absolutely FREE, so please join us and become one of us – we the people, cycling together.
