Brooklyn residents gathered in Brownsville Sunday for the annual “Bike the Block” event.

The city’s Department of Transportation held a one-mile bike ride to encourage New Yorkers to adopt a healthy lifestyle.  

The event included one-on-one workshops and refreshers from Bike New York for those who needed help on how to operate a bike.

The Department of Transportation and the Department of Health have been hosting “Bike The Block” events in all five boroughs.
