Activists Launch Forest Hills 'Bike Train' To Commute To Work

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — Transportation Alternatives, a nonprofit dedicated to street safety, is launching a weekly "bike train" for Forest Hills commuters heading to work on their two-wheelers.

The bike ride kicks off at 7:15 a.m. Monday and will travel along Queens Boulevard to Manhattan. Once they reach Sunnyside, cyclists will split into groups to head either to midtown or downtown.

Riders should meet at the northwest corner of Queens Boulevard and 76th Avenue in Forest Hills.

Transportation Alternatives' Queens volunteer committee is hosting the rides.
