For many cyclists, this year’s TD Five Boro Bike Tour Presented by REI was their first; for some, it was their first large-scale organized ride ever. Among those first-timers were students of our bike education program who were invited to ride so that they could experience the event that made it possible for them to learn (and so that some of our riders could meet the folks that have benefited from the proceeds of the world’s largest charitable bike ride). Some of them are pictured above with a couple of Bike New York staff members.  Below, we thought we ‘d introduce you to some more of our students. Take a look—you can click on any image to open a slideshow and read what they had to say about learning how to ride with us.
