Bike Tours??
I am surprised that there was no coverage of the Five Boro Bike Tour. As a site that is bike-friendly, there was no mention of it. I participated in it (first timer), and it was an unbelievable experience.
The Tour de Brooklyn is coming up on the 25th of May and I hope that Brownstoner will have coverage on it.
What do other people think?

I think that closing the BQE down caused a huge traffic snarl and a major inconvenience

The 5 Boro Tour caused an inconvenience for one day in Sunday driving. The inconvenience is a good thing since no cars were allowed on those routes and over 30,000 people participated in the tour which offset the tons of pollution put out by the cars and trucks a day.

No the cars were just moved to fourth avenue, creating even more pollution as traffic jams and idled cars meandered across brooklyn.

Those who couldnt figure out an alternative route and avoid the traffic are idiots.

If it was up to me (and it is a good thing that it is not) I would blow up every car in Brooklyn, even my own. cars suck.

Tour de Brooklyn

5 Boro was a planned and organized event. It is your own fault for being out of the loop. Should have taken mass transit.

I may just be an idiot and the late afternoon Thursday haze may be settling in, but why can't I find any map of this year's Tour De Brooklyn. The website is surprisingly uninformative. Anyone help?

ive been looking for the map for many days now. I dont think there is one. I just saw the video and expected to go whatever route they took.
