Opportunities like this don’t happen very often, except for the month of August. For the next three Saturdays starting on the 7th, Summer Streets will take place, closing a 4.5 mile stretch of Lafayette and Park Avenue to cars. The road will cut through the artery of Manhattan from 7AM to 1PM for pedestrians and bikers to roam freely. Devoid of any yellow cabs, gypsy cabs, dolla cabs, holla back, it will surly be a rare opportunity experience Manhattan in a different way. Depending on which direction you take, the route ends on 72nd Street, leading you right into Central Park. Extend the ride and take the bike path around the park. Weather is looking good for Saturday, it’s time to ride!
