The Greenway Ride presented by Citibike was originally scheduled for May 31st, 2020, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, BGI needed to postpone the event to a later date. Given current regulations regarding group events, we have adjusted the format and timing of the 2020 Greenway Ride to enable exploration and discovery along Brooklyn’s waterfront while encouraging safe physical distancing along the Greenway.
Brooklyn Greenway Initiative is excited to make the 2020 Greenway Ride engaging, fun, and safe while we ride. We look forward to seeing you on the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway and hearing about your journey come September!
Thank You to Our Sponsors and Event Partners
