Thousands of cyclists will be taking over the Bronx this weekend for the 23rd annual Tour de Bronx.

Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. and the Bronx Tourism Council took to one of the tour's stops to encourage the community to get involved.

Cyclists from around the city and the tri-state area will ride through points all over the Bronx, including City Island, Pelham Bay Park and Woodlawn Cemetery.

The tour has two routes, one spanning 25 miles and one that's 40 miles. 

Those without a bike for the event will be able to rent one.
