StreetFilm: Queens Roller Racing

From StreetFilms' Elizabeth Press: 


From StreetFilms’ Elizabeth Press: 

Have you ever wished you could explore the borough of Queens on a bike with a large group of people? Maybe you have heard of or ridden in the Tour de Brooklyn or the Tour de Bronx and thought it would make sense for Queens to have a ride of its own? Hold your breath no longer. The first annual Tour de Queens is planned for June 8, 2008!

Last week, the Transportation Alternatives’ Queens Committee hosted a fundraising Roller Race at the Creek & Cave bar. Watch this short video and find out what exactly a roller race is. If you would like get more info on the Tour de Queens and the Queens Volunteer Committee, contact Mike Heffron.
