Families Bike Brooklyn

Streets that are safe for families are streets that are safe enough for all. Transportation Alternatives hosts this panel discussion that will highlight the needs of families that bike in Brooklyn. From those who ride with a baby seat on a bike to those families whose teens ride independently in the street, this event will address the issues of people who already bike with their kids or want to but don’t know where to start. We will empower and uplift families, bring together a community of families that bike in Brooklyn, and advocate for improved street design and bike infrastructure. #FamiliesBikeBrooklyn
