Events
Transportation Alternatives produces a number of bike tours throughout the year, including the Tour de Brooklyn, the Tour de Queens, the NYC Century Bike Tour, the Tour de Staten Island and the Tour de Bronx (along with the Bronx Borough President's Office). In addition to fundraising, the purpose of these tours is to introduce New Yorkers to bicycling around the city and to give the confidence and inspiration to take up biking as a regular activity.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“At all events there is in Brooklyn
something that makes me feel at home.”

“Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child’s loss of a doll and a king’s loss of a crown are events of the same size.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them.
Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
