About this event
For eight hours the spine of Manhattan closes to cars and opens to everyone else. Roughly eight miles of roadway fill with cyclists, runners, skaters and families, punctuated by rest stops offering fitness classes, performances, interactive art and free helmet giveaways. The final Manhattan edition of the 2026 season, it is the rare chance to stand in the middle of Broadway.
Why we picked it
The last Manhattan date of the season, and the only day of the year you can cycle the length of Broadway without traffic.
