Let’s get out and ride!
Summer’s the perfect time to hit the road on two wheels, and we’ve got a lot in store for the season! Scroll on to sign up for our next ride, explore free bike classes, and make some noise for a bill that would give new financial incentive to bike to work.
Ride with us on June 25
Our Discover Hudson Valley Ride is great to ride solo or with your family! Soak up the summer views, pedal your heart out with a fun crew, and cruise into our finish festival for a BBQ and beer garden. For the kids, we have an awesome kids zone at the Mid-Hudson Discovery museum. Sign up before we sell out!
Looking to take the train up to Poughkeepsie for DHV? If you’re riding 55, 33, or 15 miles, you can take the Metro North in time to check in, grab a little breakfast and your cue sheet, and hit the road for a great day of cycling!
For more details and the updated MTA schedule, please check this link periodically on our Lodging & Travel page.
Note: There are no trains available for 100 and 75 miles riders on the morning of the ride.
A look back at our most EPIC ride
Shout out to all 32,000 of our riders from across the world who turned out for the TD Five Boro Bike Tour last month!
Congrats, Bike Path Grads!
Bike Path is a workforce development program for previously incarcerated New Yorkers. The program trains individuals to become bike mechanics for Motivate, providing service and repairs for Citi Bike, the nation's most extensive bike-share program, with 25,000 bikes and over 1,500 stations across metro NYC.
Friday, May 12th, we celebrated the Bike Path graduation of our first 2023 cohort of 19 graduates. The program is five weeks and trains the participants to repair all kinds of bikes as well as Citi Bike's electric and classic bike fleets. Each participant leaves the training program with a refurbished bike they have personally fixed and is guaranteed an interview with Motivate.
Bike Path is a place that offers a second chance for these New Yorkers by giving students the skills they need to excel and a pathway toward success in their new profession. Our goal is to train 60 new Bike mechanics in 2023. With your support, we can continue this life-changing program.
