Thousands of cyclists rode their bikes across the borough to enjoy the beauty that is The Bronx for the 20th annual event known as Tour De Bronx which is hosted by Transportation Alternatives. The tour had two routes to choose from:  a 25 mile route and a 40 mile route which took you across all the neighborhoods of our borough.

Check out this awesome video by  Jose Gonzalez who took part in this event.  I had registered for the event but due to a last minute conflict in my schedule, I couldn’t make it and boy it looks like I missed out on a lot of fun!  There’s always next year!
