Bike New York is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in New York City that aims to facilitate and promote cycling through education, public events, and collaboration with community groups and municipal agencies. Its programs focus on making cycling a safe and sustainable mode of transit and recreation, offering free bicycle education for both kids and adults across all five boroughs, school assemblies, after-school activities, and youth programs tied to organized camps. A key aspect of its model is funding education initiatives through large public events, notably the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, which attracts thousands of cyclists to enjoy 40 miles of traffic-free city streets, and the organization of Bike Expo New York, which supports education programs through event proceeds. The broader mission includes expanding access to cycling and elevating its role in daily life while partnering with city agencies, including the Department of Transportation, to reach diverse communities.
