The artwork looks like a Toofly production but I’m not 100% positive. Anyone knows, let us know!

First thing that came to mind while riding on the Grand Concourse while pedaling towards Yankee Stadium was the Tony! Toni! Toné! Song – “It feels Good”….it certainly felt good last Sunday to be riding in the 29th annual Tour de Bronx bike ride again this year! It’s been quite a few years since I rode this open street tour of The Bronx. I would guesstimate about 4000 riders came out that morning. The bike ride would start on 161st street & the Grand Concourse and end at the Bronx Botanical Garden. I parked my car at Fordham University which is directly across the street from the Botanical Garden. I then biked to the start line which was about 4 miles away close to Yankee Stadium. The ride started at about 11:15 am. The 40 mile folks started a little earlier. Overall, it was a fun ride and of course the tour is always free! This is one big reason why I continue to ride the Tour de Bronx! Besides riding in a very underrated and under appreciated borough of NYC, it’s just a hop, skip, & bridge away from NJ! I’m already looking forward to the 30th anniversary of the Tour de Bronx in 2024!
