Celebrate biking on May 30 at our 2nd Bike Day in Prospect Park.
Join us from 11am – 2pm at Bartel-Pritchard Square for a 2-wheeled celebration. We will have helmet giveaways provided by the New York City Department of Transportation, Learn to Ride clinics for children with Bike New York and guided rides around the park with Kissena Cycling Club.
