Bike New York is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to facilitate & promote cycling in New York City through education, public events, & collaboration with community organizations & municipal agencies. Our vision is to encourage cycling as a safe & sustainable means of transit and recreation, & to elevate cycling as a healthy compliment to New Yorkers’ daily lives. Working with the Department of Transportation & other city agencies, Bike New York provides access to cycling for New Yorkers by offering free bicycling education classes for kids & adults in all five boroughs, informational school assemblies & after-school programs, & a summer program for youth enrolled in organized camp groups. Since 2011, these education programs have reached more than 17,500 New Yorkers. These free classes are funded through public events, most notably the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, America’s largest cycling event. With more than 32,000 cyclists, this ride brings bike enthusiasts from all over the world to enjoy 40 miles of traffic-free streets in New York City. Bike New York also produces Bike Expo New York (BE NY), presented by Eastern Mountain Sports. With more than 43,000 attendees, the inaugural BE NY was the largest free consumer bike expo in the country. Proceeds from this event help to fund Bike New York’s education programs.

WHO WE ARE: At Urban Adventures, ‘responsible tourism’ isn’t just a marketing catch phrase. It’s at the heart of everything we do, from how we design our tours, to who we employ, to where we grow our business.  We use locally owned infrastructure and businesses to make sure the money you spend on travel is injected back into the local economy. WHAT WE DO: We’re about stepping into the community, and understanding how we can better connect as travellers. Whether we’re exploring world famous sites or hidden gems, you’ll be tasting, touching and smelling the city. On our 1500+ tours in 150+ cities, you’ll hear tales straight from the people who live there. Our breadth of destinations also means we can act as a global DMC creating bespoke products for brands (like the New York Times), agents, and conference or meeting planners.

If you are thinking of starting a tour business - get in touch before starting the expensive work of building your own website and trying to get your ideas to the world. We've got all that figured out. We are particularly interested in hearing from change makers, Social Enterprises, Micro Finances, NGO's and non-profits who have inspirational stories to tell about their cities. We'd love to amplify those voices, create revenue streams, build a tight, simple and non-disruptive process around donor visits and thereby increase overall donation pools.
