Roll Out: Pre-NYC Marathon Course Ride

Steph Mangan

Hours before 50,000 runners line up to tackle the NYC marathon and crush, cyclists from the area congregate in Bay Ridge to ride the famed course as it closes to traffic. It's a day we look forward to all year, as it is a rare opportunity to enjoy carless NYC streets and cross bridges otherwise closed to cyclists.
