Earth Day Bike Tour

Published: April 19, 2026; Aithor: Julia Sonrisa

Join us for our annual Earth Day Bike Tour to learn about the ecosystem at Shirley Chisholm State Park!

Celebrate Earth Day with a fun guided bike tour around the Fountain side of the park on Wednesday, April 22nd, from 4 pm to 5 pm! We will discuss the history and ecology of Shirley Chisholm State Park. This bike tour will include a moderate incline on gravel trails, as well as some paved trails.

Borrow a bike from the SCSP Bike Library, or bring your own! Note that helmets are mandatory, and will be provided if you borrow a bike.

Get ready to hop in the saddle and enjoy the ride! We ask that you:

• Bring an official ID (government-issued with photo & address). We’ll hold onto it until the bikes and helmets are returned.
• Wear a helmet (yours or ours)
• Have patience
• Be prepared to progress at your own speed because we know everyone learns at a different pace
• For your comfort, wear sneakers and bring water
• Please report to the orange Bike Library container at 950 Fountain Ave.
• Refund your ticket if your plans change. We understand, and just want others to get a chance to register if you can’t make it.

The Bike Library program is made possible by Con Edison, Jamaica Bay Rockaway Conservancy, Natural Heritage Trust, and New York State Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation.

Time: 4:00 pm EST

Free!
