A LETTER FROM ERIC ADAMS

Mayor Of New York City

Dear Friends:

It gives me great pleasure to welcome everyone to the 2023 TD Five Boro Bike Tour.

The future of New York City is on two wheels. Cycling is the fastest-growing transit option in our city, and my Administration is dedicated to making sure that our cyclists feel safe in every neighborhood. In our efforts to give city space back to the people, we are committed to creating an additional 300 miles of protected bike lanes across the five boroughs. Through community outreach, education, and virtual events, Bike New York is an invaluable ally in our united mission to promote cycling, protect and empower bike riders in our city, and encourage forms of movement and transportation that reduce congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. This year’s Five Boro Bike Tour offers an excellent opportunity for New Yorkers of all backgrounds to get around, stay healthy, and take care of our environment.

I look forward to the many ways that Bike New York will continue to build a brighter, safer, and more active future for all.

On behalf of the 8.8 million people of New York City, I extend my best wishes for a safe, enjoyable ride and continued success.

Sincerely,

Eric Adams Mayor of New York City
