New York to host traffic-free Bike MS

For the first time the MS Bike in New York City will offer a completely traffic free bike route throughout Manhattan on Sunday, October 5. This year's ride will be limited to about 5,000 participants and will be sponsored by the New York Stock Exchange, a sponsor of the event, which will invite the team who raises the most money to ring the closing bell on October 6.

The Bike MS event will raise money to help the fight against multiple sclerosis. For more information, visit www.bikeMSnyc.org
