Prediction: 74° and sunny for Brooklyn Public Library’s ‘Bike the Branches’
Free helmet giveaway, block party
Brooklyn Public Library’s (BPL) Bike the Branches 2017 is set to roll Saturday, May 20, and BPL wants everyone to know that the weather is predicted to be just about perfect.
Bike the Branches is a daylong bike ride through BPL’s 60-branch system (www.bklynlibrary.org). More than a thousand participants will be exploring the borough’s libraries and historical landmarks, and enjoying a variety of activities along the way like story time, morning yoga and a comic book workshop. Brompton Bicycle will provide prizes for adult, child and team winners.
Riders (register here) might want to join a pre-planned Brooklyn bike tour, such as a Brooklyn Citi Bike tour, a Brownstone Brooklyn tour or a Brooklyn Waterfront tour, or they can visit as many of BPL’s 60 branches as they can for a chance to win prizes. (One year the winner cycled to an amazing 40 branches.)
