全美最大的公路自行车活动“TD五区自行车游”（TD Five Boro Bike Tour），周日5月5日在纽约市五大区展开第46届年度活动。尽管天气潮湿多雨，活动仍吸引约3万名自行车爱好者参与。

这号称世界最大的慈善自行车骑行活动的赛事今年迎来的46周年自1977年以来，该活动已成为纽约市的一大传统，除1991年因赞助问题和2020年因COVID-19疫情暂停外，每年均有举办。

今年的赛道长达40英里，从曼哈顿出发，途经布朗士，再返回曼哈顿，随后穿越王后区和布碌崙，最终在史坦顿岛结束。

活动的第一波自行车骑行者，于上午7点30分在曼哈顿下城区出发，而最后一波则计划于上午10点25分开始。为了确保骑行者的安全和活动的顺利进行，多条街道将临时禁止汽车通行，涵盖了从曼哈顿的第六大道到王后大桥、普拉斯基大桥（Pulaski Bridge），以及通往史坦顿岛的维拉扎诺大桥（Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge）。

此次巡演还包括筹款活动。凭借该活动的收益，Bike New York 每年为超过 17,000 名儿童和成人提供免费自行车技能，重点关注服务不足的社区，使其成为美国最大的免费自行车教育项目。

The world's largest charity cycling event celebrates its 46th anniversary this year
The largest road cycling event in the United States, the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, launched its 46th annual event in the five boroughs of New York City. Despite the wet and rainy weather on Sunday, the event still attracted about 30,000 cyclists.
The event has become a New York City tradition since 1977 and has been held every year except for suspension in 1991 due to sponsorship issues and in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year's 40-mile course starts in Manhattan, passes through the Bronx, returns to Manhattan, then passes through Queens and Brooklyn before ending in Staten Island.
The first wave of cyclists will set off in Lower Manhattan at 7:30 a.m., while the final wave is scheduled to start at 10:25 a.m. To ensure the safety of cyclists and the smooth flow of events, a number of streets will be temporarily closed to car traffic, from Sixth Avenue in Manhattan to the Queens Bridge, Pulaski Bridge, and to Staten Island Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
The tour also includes a fundraiser. With proceeds from the event, Bike New York provides free cycling skills to more than 17,000 children and adults each year, focusing on underserved communities, making it the largest free cycling education program in the United States.
