Ride to the Harvest Festival at Randall’s Island Park with El Barrio Bikes! Meet up at Thomas Jefferson Park in Harlem and enjoy a scenic ride along the riverfront and through the park, ending at the Festival!
Free Citi Bikes will be provided thanks to our partnership with Citi Bike, and we can offer a limited number of free helmets. In order to reserve a bike and helmet, please email publicprograms@randallsisland.org.
There will be a free Bike Valet provided by Transportation Alternatives so you can safely park your bikes and enjoy the festivities with ease of mind.
