MANHATTAN - The streets will be spoken for Sunday when thousands of cyclists come out for the Five Boro Bike Tour.

People will begin lining up at 6:30 a.m. in Battery Park with an 8 a.m. start.

Registration sold out within a day for the event's 32,000 spots.

From Lower Manhattan, the 42-mile trek heads up Sixth Avenue, through Central Park and into The Bronx.

Then, cyclists will loop back into Manhattan and then into Queens. 

After that, it's onto the Brooklyn, the Verrazzano Bridge and then Staten Island.

Finally, there's the ferry ride back to Manhattan.

Motorists should avoid the route, which will be closed to traffic.
