Even though today was a cloudy day, I had a nice reminder of why I love living on Roosevelt Island. Sunday morning May 3, we woke up to witness a major event!

From our apartment window, we saw approximately 30,000 people riding their bikes. It was the TD Bank Five Boro Bike Tour of New York City. For part of the tour, southbound FDR Drive was closed to car traffic in order for the bikers to make their way to the five boroughs of NYC. It was quite a sight to see all those people on their bikes zooming by Roosevelt Island. They passed by our island from around 9am to noon. Wow!
