Roller Race for Queens

by Elizabeth Press on March 18, 2008 | 2,959 Plays

Have you ever wished you could explore the borough of Queens on a bike with a large group of people? Maybe you have heard of or ridden in the Tour de Brooklyn or the Tour de Bronx and thought it would make sense for Queens to have a ride of its own? Hold your breath, no longer. The first annual Tour de Queens is planned for June 8, 2008!

Last week, the Transportation Alternatives' Queens Committee hosted a fundraising Roller Race at the Creek & Cave bar. Watch this short video and find out what exactly a roller race is. If you would like get more info on the Tour de Queens and the Queens Volunteer Committee, contact: Mike Heffron.

    Cracking video, the Queens race looks fantastic.

    Good to see the Bike Works NYC Barelli rollers working.

    You should have had a disclaimer at the beginning stating that the video has not been sped up. Those are some impressive RPMs.

    For some reason, I am reminded of this..

    Great editing, but it was just a tad unclear that the roller races were a fund-raiser for the Tour de Queens.
