2010 Ward Tour Recap

Sunday May 23rd 2010, around 530 bicyclists in bikeseats and fixies, tandems and folders, pushed off from Exchange Place and took over the streets of Jersey City for nearly two hours.

Though only one year young, we are setting our goals high for 2011: more riders, more food and spirits, and more vendors/activities pre- and post- ride. See the planned route and register now! A big "thank you" goes to our current sponsors (to become a sponsor please contact us):
