The second annual Summer Streets starts today and for the next three Saturdays throughout the city. Take your streets back from the tyranny of the automobile. Nearly 7 miles of car free streets. Routes include, Lafayette Street -- 4th Avenue -- Park Avenue -- 72nd Street -- Central Park with bike lane and low-traffic connections to Harlem, Brooklyn, Queens, Governors Island and the West Side Greenway.

I love Summer Streets. Riding a bike through the tunnel at Grand Central is nearly impossible to do safely with cars riding alongside you-it’s my favorite part of riding Park Ave without cars.
I have to agree. it definitely is cool riding near the grand central area.
This year it felt as though there were more stops with cross-town traffic than last year. It’s a great summer tradition, and the route should be extended.
