NYC Century Bike Ride returns After 6-Year Break

New York's signature cycling event is back on the city's calendar. After a six-year hiatus, the legendary ride NYC Century Bike Tour will return on September 21, 2025

NYC Century Bike Ride Returns After 6-Year Break

The NYC Century is the only 160-mile bike ride in the United States that runs entirely through an urban area. It covers four New York City boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens. Staten Island is off the route this time. Cyclists will ride through parks, along green routes and city streets with all their asphalt, cracks and relief.
 
The event is organized by the group Transportation Alternatives in collaboration with radio station WNYC. This year, the ride is held in memory of Roger Herz, an activist who fought for the development of public transportation. The official name of the ride is now the Roger Herz Memorial NYC Century Bike Tour.
 
For those who are not ready for the full distance, there are shorter routes available:
 
- 15 mile Family Ride
- 35 mile Casual Explorer
- 55 mile City Adventurer
- 75 mile Coastal Trailblazer
- 100 mile Century Champion
 
There will be no traffic closures on the streets. But the route will be marked with signs, equipped with rest areas, and a festival awaits the participants at the finish.
 
For New York City's cycling community, the return of the NYC Century is more than just a ride. It's a chance to see the city from the saddle again and share the road with thousands of like-minded people.
