Most of the ride will be Queens street bike lanes or park pathways.  Surprise on my food choices!  No shortage of public restrooms and water fountains.  In 5BCC tradition, lore and background of the parks will be briefly presented as well as pointing out some other highlights.  Never done before by 5BBC, ride all major Queens Parks!!!!!
