May is the 14th annual Bike Month NYC, but there are activities that start before May is officially here. The events, sponsored by Tra nsportation Alternatives and Department of Transportation, can be seen on this calendar, and they range from viewing an exhibit of bike paintings at the Brooklyn Brewery to a blessing of bicycles at St. John the Divine, or a bike repair workshops and bike celebrations with Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. And, of course, this Sunday, May 1, it's the Five Borough Bike Tour - 42 miles without traffic!
