City transportation officials have announced a ban on unsanctioned cyclists during the NYC Marathon to ensure safety and accessibility.
The New York City Department of Transportation announced that it is prohibiting unsanctioned cyclists from entering the New York City Marathon course on November 2.
According to the notice, street closures in the hours before the race are meant for emergency vehicles, crews setting up for the event, and medical tents.
For decades, cyclists have used the empty streets of the 26.2-mile course for early morning rides before sunrise, taking advantage of the rare opportunity to ride without cars and trucks.
- The Five Boro Bike Tour in May
- Summer Streets in August
are the only other sanctioned events that allow cyclists to take over the streets.
No comment from the city officials on this matter.
