Beginning tomorrow, August 6 in New York City, grab your bike or jogging shoes and run out into traffic. Summer Streets, the program that shuts down a portion of the city’s thoroughfares to anything with a motor, is back for three weekends in August and the event is not to be missed. Described by Transportation Alternatives as “a cyclist’s dream, a pedestrian fantasy and most definitely New York City’s greatest car-free event,” there’s no exaggeration in saying you’ll never experience the city’s public spaces like strolling down the middle of Park Avenue without the dangers, sounds, or smells of the city’s notorious traffic.

Summer Streets will be barring autos from seven miles of Manhattan roads on August 6th, 13th, and 20th from 7:00a.m. until 1:00p.m., so wake up early and tell your friends!
