I&#x27;ve done this with my wife, and my oldest daughter. My youngest boy, this is his first time. So, it&#x27;s nice to get out.&quot;John Salaveria, also a first-time participant in the cycling event, started the tour with his friends but was separated from them as they got closer to the finish line.&quot;Even though the weather was a little rainy, it couldn&#x27;t stop us from finishing this race,&quot; he said. &quot;I cycle to stay active, to enjoy the city and see it for what it is.&quot;Salaveria picked up cycling as a hobby in 2020 during the pandemic and has embraced it since then.In joining Bike New York, these Filipinos are advocating for an active and healthy lifestyle through cycling in the busy streets of the Big Apple.&quot;Start with a small ride,&quot; said Salaveria. &quot;You [could] work your way up until you can do this bike tour. Start small and maybe find a friend to do it with you. And, make sure you&#x27;re having fun as you do it.&quot;
