Public Transit

A clear message to Bike Tour cyclists has come from MTA’s leadership: mass transit is the easiest and most sustainable way to the tour.

“Customers who want to take their bike onto the subway need to tap their OMNY-enabled device or swipe their MetroCard while the station agent watches, rotate the turnstile, then enter through the station service gates once they are activated by the agent,” an MTA release states. “For safety’s sake, customers should carry, not roll, bikes down stairs."

Riders who want to take their bikes to the tour’s start near Battery Park are encouraged to use these stations:

• Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall, 4/5/6
• Bowling Green (Bowling Green Park entrance only), 4/5
• Chambers Street, 2/3
• Chambers Street, J
• Chambers Street, A/C
• World Trade Center, E
• Cortlandt Street, R

MTA officials ask cyclists not use the following stations, which are not well-equipped to handle large volumes of bicycles:

• Fulton Street, 2/3/4/5/A/C
• Wall Street, 2/3
• Wall Street, 4/5
• Park Place, 2/3
• Rector Street, R
• Whitehall Street, R

Passengers can click here and check “Current Service Status” for bus routes affected by street closures.

Metro-North and LIRR trains will suspend limits on bicycles and recommend that cyclists use a bungee cord to secure their bike while on the train.

NYC Department Of Transportation And Bike New York Announce Major Enhancement to the TD Five Boro Bike Tour on Sunday, May 1

Registration is still open for the Tour, with more time and space to enjoy 40+ miles of car-free NYC streets, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

While an hour may have been lost for daylight savings, Bike New York is gaining an hour for the upcoming 2022 TD Five Boro Bike Tour . In partnership with the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT), Bike New York announced on Monday, March 28 that riders in the 2022 Tour will now have an additional hour to enjoy the sights and sounds of the most exciting city in the world car-free ! The additional hour marks the Tour’s first significant change in decades, providing an enhanced experience for riders to enjoy the boroughs with a lot more space between other riders. The extra hour will be built into the beginning of the Tour with starting waves running from 7:30 am to 11:30 am.

The announcement comes as the Tour, which was capped at 20,000 registrants last year and notably delayed until August, will operate at full capacity for the first time since 2019, with 32,000 cyclists riding. Registration for the Sunday, May 1 ride is now open for New Yorkers and visitors as the world reopens and as cycling surges in popularity with thousands of local cyclists hopping on the bike bandwagon. During the height of the pandemic, average weekday cycling ridership was up an estimated 33 percent with shops selling out of bikes and parts. Overall ridership continues to trend upwards.

“The extra hour is a game-changer for the riders of the TD Five Boro Bike Tour,”

said   Bike New York President & CEO Ken Podziba. “The ability to spread out the start waves means less congestion, plus additional space to soak in the amazing views and enjoy a more leisurely, free-wheeling ride. This year’s Tour will be the best one yet, and we’re grateful to Mayor Adams, Commissioner Rodriguez, and all our government partners for working with us to infuse an exciting, new liberating feel to the Tour experience.”

The TD Five Boro Bike Tour is the premier fundraising event for Bike New York, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to empowering New Yorkers to transform their lives and their communities through cycling.

Traffic will be diverted on Sunday at three crossings – the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, the Henry Hudson Bridge and the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel – due to the MS Bike tour, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday, according to the MTA .

The MTA said the bike race, which is a 30-mile, traffic-free route on the West Side of Manhattan, will not result in the closure of the bridges or the tunnel, but several exits and entrances will be impacted. 

The 2021 MS Bike Tour is scheduled for today & will impact motorists who normally use the MTA’s Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, Henry Hudson Bridge & Hugh L. Carey Tunnel. There will not be closures but several exit and entrance ramps will be impacted. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/ztDKtJ1VuK pic.twitter.com/EXthyVUQID — NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) October 17, 2021

The agency says drivers should be aware of closures and use alternative routes, when possible.

These are the changes: 

Henry Hudson Bridge

7 a.m. to Noon: There will be no access to the southbound Henry Hudson Bridge heading into Manhattan.

Hugh L. Carey Tunnel

6:45 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.: All traffic exiting the tunnel in Manhattan will be detoured northbound onto West Street or through the Trinity Place exit, which will remain open. The NYPD will close southbound West Street and the Battery Park Underpass from West Street to the FDR Drive.

7 a.m. to 10 a.m.: The northbound FDR Drive and Harlem River Drive will be closed, as will the northbound Harlem River Drive exit ramp from the RFK Bridge. All Manhattan-bound traffic crossing the RFK Bridge will exit onto the southbound FDR Drive or East 125th Street.

The department recommends drivers to sign up for MTA emails or text alerts , and to check the Bridges and Tunnels homepage , for the latest traffic information.

NYC DOT Reminds New Yorkers of Closures on Brooklyn-Queens Expressway This Weekend – April 13-15 for Necessary Deck Repair Work; Motorists Should Avoid the BQE in Brooklyn

Motorists will be detoured in the Queens bound direction during weekend travel; NYC DOT launched media campaign targeted to local communities to keep them notified of closures and detours

NEW YORK — New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez today reminded New Yorkers of expected closures this weekend for necessary repair and replacement work in mid-April to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in Brooklyn, including full closures between the Atlantic Avenue entrance ramp and the Manhattan Bridge exit ramp in the Queens-bound direction. Closures will begin Saturday, April 13 at 2 a.m. through Monday, April 15 at 4 a.m. NYC DOT also continued a public notification campaign geared to local neighborhoods and communities ahead of the closures and detours. The repairs, which build on successful repair work conducted in October 2023, focus on new concrete and reinforcing steel bars being added at spans on the BQE near Clark Street and Grace Court as part of near-term work critical to extending the structure’s lifespan. These weekend repairs will be followed by a final, similar round of repairs expected to occur on June 1 to 3.

“Just as we did successfully last fall, we continue to deliver critical repairs to the BQE to preserve its lifespan while minimizing the impact on the local community,” said NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez . “I encourage all New Yorkers to avoid the BQE in Brooklyn this weekend and to take mass transit.”
