Tour de Flushing is hosted by the Eastern Queens Greenway, a self-described coalition of neighbors working together for a family-safe path from Flushing Meadows to Alley Pond Park and the Joe Michaels Mile.

The 20-mile bike-riding event begins at 9 a.m. at the iconic Unisphere in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park and ends around 1 p.m. at the Flushing Quaker Meeting House, located at 137-16 Northern Blvd. in Flushing.

Registration is open and it is free. Eastern Queens Greenway has provided a map of the proposed route, noting that there will be uphill riding that might not be suitable for small children.

In case of rain, Tour de Flushing will be rescheduled to July 23 at 9 a.m.
