I did the ride many years ago on my 1985 Cannondale ST500 and it was a lot
of fun. I lived in NJ at the time and it was easy for me to get to SI for
the start. I think I left somewhere towards the back of the first wave. The
only un-fun part was the congestion in Manhattan meant an awful lot of
Any bike you can sit on for 4 hours over the course of a day will work.
Last year I rode an old Rudge 3 speed. People ride everything from 45 lb
Citi bikes to Stingrays to carbon fiber road rockets. The Bleriot sounds
close to ideal!
We just find street parking somewhere within biking distance
There is in person packet pickup for the three days before the ride, and if
I recall correctly, there is a spot to pickup your bib day of in lower
Manhattan, close to the ferry terminal.
The course start and finish lines are usually in the same places, so most

in-person pick up whens and wheres, and not being from NYC, I couldn't take
a chance. For the 20 mile Philadelphia ride in October, the pick up bib

Debating. Would love to do it. Would my Holdsworth Professional with 32's
do the trick?
I love my Bleriot, but it weighs a ton. Haven't ridden in NYC since I did a
Monster Track race
on a brakeless track bike. I'm so much smarter now lol.

And if driving- park on Staten Island to avoid late afternoon ferry lines.

I would highly recommend volunteering as a course marshal to anyone who is
interested. You are allowed to ride the course for free after your
volunteer position is finished, you can bring a larger bag with you,
breakfast and lunch are provided, and they have a priority ferry boat back
to Manhat
I’m planning to ride it on my Homer, flying out from the west coast. I’ll
definitely try to attend the Blessing of the Bikes.

I paid a little extra for a Wave 1 start too. Ok, I'll ask an obviously
stupid question. I'll be staying with my daughter who lives in Queens.
What's the best way to get from Queens to the start? Just Ride, I presume

I paid the extra fee and started in wave 1 in 2024, and I'm doing it again
in 2025. Wave 1 was great last year, except for the many misguided riders
who think it's a race. I don't mind people passing me, but many people
passed me very close and on the right. I cursed out a few people because of
My advice is to figure out a way to get onto the course EARLY. Certainly,
if you get a ticket for early entry that would be great. But otherwise,
just show up early and jump onto the course before the traffic builds.
There is nothing worse than getting stuck in a bike traffic jam trying to

We consider the 5 Boro a bucket list activity- Its an unbelievable way to
see the city. Every year we say no, not this year. But then someone we know
wants to do it so we ride it again!

I won't make it for 2025 - traveling to NYC from the west coast is not
gonna be an annual thing. But am already plotting my 2026 return. One thing
I will be sure too do - that I found out about after the fact this year -
is to attend the Blessing of the Bikes that happens at the Cathedral of St

I'll be riding my 2015 Waterford built Homer. You are right. Great way to

I didn't register yet but I'll be there too. I did it last year for the
first time and it was really fun! I highly recommend it for anyone
out-of-town, as it's a great way to see the city.
What bike are you going to be on? I'll be on my mustard colored Appaloosa.
