Tour de Brooklyn 2008

052608tourdebrooklyn.jpg

As Bike Month NYC winds down, over two thousand cyclists filled the Brooklyn streets yesterday for the fourth annual Tour de Brooklyn. This year’s 18-mile family-oriented ride was moved up a week to coincide with the Brooklyn Bridge 125th birthday festivities. Borough President Marty Markowitz kicked things off on Water Street near the bridge, sending cyclists on a leisurely ride that wound through DUMBO, East Williamsburg, Crown Heights, Bedford Stuyvesant, and the Evergreen Cemetery, ultimately wrapping up downtown at Walt Whitman Park.

According to Streetfilms, the highlight was the rare opportunity to pedal through the Brooklyn Navy Yard. There’s a video from yesterday’s ride on their website. And next Saturday Bike Month concludes with a family bike festival on Governors Island.
