The NYC Century Bike Tour on Sept. 9 offers plenty of company as you wind your way through routes starting at 15 miles and going up to 100 miles. Beyond just the victory of touring the city on bike, it’s added another incentive this year: Bikes & Bites, where riders can stop at local businesses along their route and get discounts and freebies at places like Nathan’s, Brooklyn Label and Rockaway Taco. Apart from the obvious refueling perk, this program also allows you to see places you might not normally ride by or visit, and thus brings new customers to businesses and new haunts to you! Deals on offer include lavender (and regular) lemonade, hot dogs, pizza, health juices, lemon ice, knishes, sandwiches, and more from various local vendors in Brooklyn, The Bronx and Queens.
Other Tour highlights include a giveaway of the last of 3 Trek Bicycles (given away after each registration deadline), commemorative water bottle and t-shirt, finish parties in Central Park with music and massages, and (a smaller one in) Prospect Park, and free admission to the Prospect Park Carousel.
Registration deadline is Sept. 7 for $65, but riders can register after September 7 and day-of for $75. Details on food and drink deals are here.

Does this tour still exist to date? I'd probably go ride with my Morpheus bike this year to see what's in store for me. I am so excited!
