Five Boro Bike Tour takes thousands of bicyclists through NYC's main thoroughfares
The first wave of riders took off from Lower Manhattan around 8:30 a.m, with the huge crowd moving north through the city and through Central Park, before crossing briefly into the Bronx and back into Manhattan.
From there they travelled south down the FDR and crossed into Queens over the Queensboro Bridge, spun a look through Astoria and headed south into Brooklyn, before crossing the Verrazzano Bridge into Staten Island.
More than 30,000 riders turned out for the 2025 Five Boro Bike Tour on Sunday, which was spared severe rain
Luiz C. Ribeiro for New York Post
The whole route stretches about 40 miles and crosses five bridges, as spectators also braved the forecasts this year to cheer on the riders.
Cyclists managed to dodge most of the deluges that had been forecast for the day, with only scattered showers during the leisurely ride, which is not a timed race.
The bike tour kicked off in Lower Manhattan Sunday morning and touched all five boroughs, ending in Staten Island
Tomas E. Gaston
First biked in 1977 by only a few hundred riders, the event has grown over the years and become an annual staple in the city's cycling community.
Registration fees go towards bicycling education programs, along with advocacy for more and safer bike infrastructure across the city.

Fever vs. Wings prediction: WNBA odds, picks, best bets for Friday
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. It looks as though fans will be deprived yet again of seeing Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers face each other in the WNBA. Clark is expected to miss her 15th game this season due to injury when the Indiana Fever visit the Dallas Wings on Friday. She also missed the July meeting. Clark and Bueckers last met in the 2024 Final Four with Clark's Iowa Hawkeyes outlasting UConn in a game that came down to the final seconds. WNBA fans are eager to see the first pro chapter of what is expected to be a long-standing rivalry. The All-Star guards have been chosen with the top draft pick in consecutive years. The Fever are three-point road favorites with a total of 169 points. As a handicapper, the key is to analyze the Fever in games that Clark has missed, as only those apply to this matchup. Indy has won three straight games and is 7-7 without its star guard, compared to 8-5 with her. The Fever are a better and more explosive team with Clark. However, they still maintain their high pace with Aari McDonald running the point in Clark's place. For example, they just scored 107 points in their last game. Indiana Fever guard Aari McDonald (2) brings the ball up court against the Chicago Sky during the first half at United Center. Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Dallas has shown improvement recently, but ultimately, this team is lottery-bound because of its bad defense. The Wings allow 86.4 points per game, which ranks fourth-worst. Injuries have also played a role, but Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale are now healthy, and Dallas is making some noise. The Wings just beat the reigning champion Liberty by scoring 92 points and lost in the final seconds to the Atlanta Dream. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps I expect another competitive, back-and-forth game. Additionally, I anticipate a high-scoring showdown because both teams identify with their high-octane offense. That is furthered by Dallas recently incorporating a smaller starting lineup with the 6-foot-1 Haley Jones replacing 6-7 Li Yueru. I have a 58-47-1 ATS record in this Post sports section, and my next play is Over 169 points.

St. James-Smithtown Little League state champs enjoying spotlight, historic opportunity
Forget the Hamptons, St. James and Smithtown are home to Long Island's newest A-listers. The towns' joint Little League team, New York State's champion, is riding a wave of star-studded attention as it prepares to play the best teams from Rhode Island, New Jersey and Connecticut for a ticket to the Little League World Series. Advertisement 'I feel like we're getting a lot of recognition. I feel like a celebrity walking around,' Bulls pitcher and NYS home run derby champ Jeremy Katz told The Post. 'It's a good feeling, and I want it to continue that way,' he added ahead of the regional tournament in Bristol, Conn., that starts for the 12-year-olds Saturday night against Rhode Island. The boys' bolstering confidence comes with the territory, according to former major leaguer Frank Catalanotto, who played for the Bulls in the late 1970s and early '80s. Advertisement 'Even though you were still a young kid, people took you seriously,' said the homegrown talent who now manages Hofstra's team. 'You felt like you were playing Major League Baseball. That's how big it was and how important it was.' Little big shots And who could blame the St. James-Smithtown group that just won the league's first state title? Advertisement 4 St. James-Smithtown coach Scott Santelli watches his team practice on July 28, 2025. Heather Khalifa for New York Post Along with significant media attention and games soon to be televised on ESPN, each of the Bulls received massive state champion rings that the players are wearing on chains around their necks. 'They're getting a sense of their accomplishments and all their hard work and what they've put into this,' said assistant coach Eric Hanson, whose son of the same name is an outfielder on the squad. 'It goes beyond the game, and hopefully they can use this for the rest of their lives.' Advertisement On the field, meanwhile, the players' parents are making noise that rivals Yankee Stadium. The younger Hanson said the team's state title victory against South Shore on the road on Staten Island felt like a home game. 4 St. James-Smithtown players pose for a picture after their New York state title victory. Heather Khalifa for New York Post Down 2-0 in that all-or-nothing game, families shaking down the thunder provided the bullish energy the boys needed to come back and win 7-2. 'The boys can hear it in the dugout, and we can feel the momentum switching,' said Hanson's dad. 'And we took advantage of it.' The 10th man The parents' overwhelming support is not lost on shortstop Andrew Barbato, either. 4 Lucas Kostas pitches during a St. James-Smithtown Little League practice on July 28, 2025. Heather Khalifa for New York Post Advertisement He said having families around to watch the Bulls thrive has been 'a real dream come true.' 'Just being in it and having all of them watch it — shout out to the parents for taking off work and stuff,' the middle schooler added. The team, including parents, has also been close since many of the group were around 5 years old, bringing another layer of motivation among the boys that's making them better, according to Katz's mom, Jodi. 'It really is like a family,' she said. 'It creates the kind of family environment, camaraderie that I think translates into good play on the field.' Advertisement 4 Ryan Delgado bats during St. James-Smithtown practice on July 28, 2025. Heather Khalifa for New York Post Understandably, she doesn't want their heads getting too large with all the hoopla. 'It's wonderful that they're being celebrated in this way,' Katz said, 'but behind the scenes, they're still the group of scrappy 12-year-old boys who swim and play stickball together.' Barbato agrees about keeping focus on the task at hand. Advertisement 'I'm just going to block it out and just play baseball and have fun with my friends,' he said. 'To keep doing what we've been doing, it should be fine.'
