Bike to Work Day in Brooklyn

Today is National Bike to Work Day, and NYC DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Kha thinks there are more and more reasons to start biking NYC: “With more than 650 lane miles of routes on streets and in parks and with increasing bike parking options across the city, more and more New Yorkers are discovering that bicycling is a safe, convenient and fun way to get around.” Borough President Marty Markowitz celebrated the last week of Bike Month NYC by giving out breakfast this morning to bicycling commuters at Borough Hall. And while there wasn’t a big turn-out at Borough Hall (that’s Marty enjoying a rare moment of solitude on the steps), we’re assuming that only because everyone was too busy, what else, biking to work!
