PHOTOS: Second annual Baldwin Bike Rodeo & Parade

Returning for another year, the Baldwin Civic Association, along with Legislator Debra Mulé, hosted the second annual Baldwin Bike Rodeo & Parade, aiming to unite the community in embracing pedal power over vehicular transportation.

Held at Baldwin Harbor Town Park last Saturday, participants ranging from children to adults had the opportunity to soak up the warm weather as summer draws near.

“Thanks to the hard work of the Baldwin Civic Association and all of our community partners, our annual bike parade is becoming a cherished springtime tradition in our community,” Mulé wrote to the Herald. “It is always wonderful for our young people to learn the fundamentals of bicycle safety from our great partners from NCPD’s First Precinct as they enjoy a beautiful day outdoors.”

“Bike Rodeo and Parade was another success!” Kimberly Malone, president of the Baldwin Civic Association wrote to the Herald. “Since we had two routes, the children were thrilled to ride around the Baldwin Harbor area and the adult riders and police officers had the chance to ride up to Merrick Road to come down Milburn Creek Park, and to explore parts of our neighborhoods.

“We want to give a huge thanks to NCPD for making it safe and to all our incredible sponsors, including Legislator Debra Mulé, Nassau County Department of Public Works, the Town of Hempstead, and more!” she added.
