This summer, seven miles of Manhattan streets will be free of cars and full of fun during three Summer Streets Saturdays (Aug 9, 16 & 23). For two decades, Times Up! has been demonstrating that bikes are part of the solution to our environmental woes. Non-polluting transportation's time has come!

Join us on Saturday, August 9, as we celebrate with fun events. Let's show the world what car-free streets can really look like.
