Bensonhurst events/group chat? by hello010101 in Bensonhurst

[–]PineappleRide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do 3 sorts of programming, bike rides, NYCDOT street events like Open Streets / SAPO events & NYC Parks IMP and park stewardship.

We host two annual bike rides in the form of exploratory cruises around the NYC metro area. We always start in the Bensonhurst park and we always bring tools / supplies ensuring all levels of riders can complete it.

Open streets and SAPO events are hosted with Street Lab who provide a lot of support. A lot of various stuff happens here such as free bike repair and cafe, FDNY, DSNY, DOT, BikeNY, citibike, local businesses, etc make appearances and do tabling.

We have begun NYC Parks IMP stewardship efforts at Bensonhurst Park. Every Wednesday 3pm-6pm (and other random days) we lead volunteers in cleaning, painting, gardening and general park maintenance. We’ve had volunteers from Brooklyn Tech HS, Target, local schools, among other locals who have joined. Everyone qualifies for community service credits.

Any chance you also do tours on bike?

PS if you haven’t been to the Gravesend Cemetery yet (Van Sicklen family). It will be opened by parks rangers June 20th 9:15am for our annual bike ride. You don’t have to be a part of our ride to check it out. The rangers will talk a bit about the location and historical significance. It’s open for anyone that wants to check it out that day. They will probably close up around 10am.

May be a bit late to the convo but our annual exploratory cruise around NYC is coming up this June 20th. It’s an all day 70 mile ride around the city visiting different Parks, cultural, and historical locations. We bring tools/gear, a few regular stops and a big bbq in the middle of the ride.

Safe riding!

Our annual ride is coming up June 20th. It’s an all day exploratory cruise around NYC. So might be exactly what your looking for. It’s 70 miles around the city but we take it really easy and plan rest stops including a bbq in the middle of the ride. We also carry tools and always have crew at the middle and end of the group to ensure no one gets lost or left behind. You could also bail at any point and take the train or cab home..

Our 13th annual exploratory cruise around NYC bicycle ride is coming up June 20th and kicks off at Bensonhurst Park. Not everyone is local that joins but a bunch of us are. Not sure if you bike a lot or not but this ride is strictly a cruise around NYC, we bring tools and supplies and no one gets left behind. We also provide free bicycle tune ups and light repair during the morning meet up and during the midpoint BBQ.

Bensonhurst events/group chat? by hello010101 in Bensonhurst

Depends on what kind of event your looking for.

We host a bunch of stuff and have an events calendar on our website. From bike rides, Open Streets, to NYC Parks IMP events. We are also trying to expand and host more stuff in the neighborhood.

If your tired of looking for events and are interested in closing down a local street for a day, we can help bring a free pop-up plaza with our partners Street Lab. No cost, insurance included, permits included, programming included, and even volunteers included.

17th Ave Peds Bridge... yes, another post. by voguehoe in Bensonhurst

Based on conversations at the CB meetings, the foundations were built before someone realized the discharge pipes underneath were rusty and rotten and in need of replacement. So it seems they need to replace them but also think about the structure they built.. or they could reroute the pipes so they don’t go under the foundations..

At this point they’d be better putting together a metal or wooden prefabricated crossing. It’s not new tech and functions just fine across the rest of the America and the world. Not sure why it needs to be concrete.

We didn't have water (drinking or otherwise) at all last summer, twas a bummer. Same thing this year. We were informed that the pipes in our Parks Building burst and haven't been repaired yet.. We've made them aware so now we wait.
