A half-day symposium on the evolving culture and impact of the bicycle in Brooklyn presented by The Brooklyn Waterfront Research Center & The University Transportation Research Center
Biking is booming in Brooklyn and we want to know why. On March 22nd, we will be hosting a half-day conference on the history, culture, and future of biking in our namesake borough. We will talk with local authors, business people, planners and advocates about what is happening on our streets and why it matters to Brooklyn and New York City.
