EVERY SECOND FRIDAY OF THE MONTH!

Streetfilms just posted a video of last month's ride: http://www.streetfilms.org/archives/queens-blvd-bike-pool/

This ride is a slow, easy ride that occurs every second Friday of the month. It is a group ride at easy pace, with all riders wearing orange "Share the Road" vests (provided for the ride), heading eastward down the south service road of Queens Boulevard. It was started following the tragic death of Asif Rahman, who was killed while riding on Queens Boulevard in February 2008.

The ride meets at the Queens end of the 59th street bridge. We leave at 6:30 PM and the ride usually lasts no longer than one hour. Again, we ride slowly, for a show of presence to motorists, pedestrians, local merchants and other cyclists, who we welcome to join us. We observe all lights and other traffic rules. Please bring your front and rear lights if you have them (and you should!)

The ride ends in a different spot each month; this month (Friday June 12) we are planning to turn right at the Queens Mall and go for Burgers at Five Guys in Glendale. If you would like to join us for dinner, please remember your bike lock!
