Bike Month Launch Party
May 1st, 2010This year, Upper Green Side and Transportation Alternative’s East Side Committee have joined forces to organize a group ride from the Upper East Side to a Bike Month Launch Party on May 1.
The East Side Ride to the Bike Month Launch Party will be a leisurely-paced ride suitable for families with children and for seniors, with experienced volunteer leaders and marshals to help keep it fun and safe for all. The ride starts at the Central Park Boathouse at 11:00 am on May 1, makes a stop at 96th Street and Park Avenue at 11:30, and a final stop at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza at 12:00 before heading south to the Brooklyn Bridge.
For more ambitious folks, consider continuing on to the 1:00 p.m. celebration at New York City’s newest park, Brooklyn Bridge Park. Once there, you can get free light bike repair from Recycle-A-Bicycle, register your bike with the NYPD to help identify it if it is stolen, enroll your child in a Learn-To Ride class from Bike New York, or attend a festival of cycling-themed film shorts reviewed here by the New York Times. All free!
All of the details are included on this map.

Launch of the Upper East Side Eco-Map
October 22nd, 2009Sunday, October 25th, at 11:30 a.m., join in the launch of the Upper East Side Eco-Map at the 92nd Street Greenmarket & Upper Green Side.
Council Member Daniel Garodnick – whose generous grant made printing the map possible – will be on hand to present the first copy of the Eco-Map to Gorman Reilly, the recently retired chair of Civitas. Not only was Gorman an early Upper Green Side supporter, he, via Civitas, provided funding for last year’s UGS electronic recycling event.
And what is the Eco-Map? A year and half in the making, the Eco-Map is your pocket-sized guide to the greenest of the green on the Upper East Side… Be that a green roof or solar panels, local wildlife (yes, we have some!), the nearest place to recycle a dead CFL and much, much more!
And that’s not all that will be going on Sunday! The 92nd Street Greenmarket managers will be throwing their first ever tailgate party complete with delicious treats and a broadcast of the Jets game.
So come, stock up on the market’s wonderful edibles, enjoy the game and snacks, and get your very own copy of the Eco-Map!
