2007 Winners
Like the Tour itself, the 2007 photo contest received a record number of entrants--more than 100. The following four images were chosen by Bike New York's staff as the winners. Fittingly, New Yorkers took the majority of the honors, but top billing went to a Virginian. Many thanks to all who participated.
