Sunnyside Becomes a Bike-Friendly Business District

12:10 PM EDT on August 25, 2014

Transportation Alternatives has been working all across NYC to foster goodwill for bicycling in the business community. Recently, TA has begun to award Bike-Friendly Business District designations in neighborhoods where local merchants support bicycling and safer streets. The first one outside Manhattan is Sunnyside, Queens.

Come along on this group ride that toured six of Sunnyside's 70 bike-friendly businesses, with a special guest appearance by Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer.
