Get off the couch and on your bike

Despite the flurries that have been falling this week, spring is definitely on the way.

The proof is in the bicycle tours are revving up around the city. Two I am especially interested in are the Cross Island YMCA's Queens Bike and Brunch and the Bike New York Commerce Bank Five Boro Bike Tour.

The Cross Island event, part of the Y's Strong Kids Campaign, will be help April 28. It consists of a leisurely 20-mile ride around Queens.

The five boro ride on May 6 offers a 42-mile tour of the boroughs, ending in Staten Island. About 30,000 riders take part. Check out BikeNewYork.org for details on this ride and many others.
