As an Executive Management consultant for BIKE RENT NYC, I created the professional relationship with the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative to have our business become the Official Bike Rental Provider in 2015.
Representing BIKE RENT NYC as the organizer and manager for the event, our team provided more than 100 bicycles annually. The relationship and service continued throughout the 2016 and 2017 Epic Rides.
Riders were able to pick-up bicycles at the Greenpoint Brooklyn start line, and, return the bikes after use at the finish line at RIIS Park.
Bike rental for the event is purchased on the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative’s Epic Ride website.
Bikes are staged at the starting location in the early morning, and before the start of the ride.
Before bicycle and helmet distribution bikes begins, the bike ar checked for safety, and seats and helmets were adjusted for each individual.
Additionally, extra bikes in varying sizes are made available in case of need or repaIR.
Brooklyn Greenway changed vendors in 2018, I was no longer representing BIKE RENT NYC.

Paseo La Princesa hugs the old perimeter wall of the city, and beyond the fountain continues around Old San Juan to the San Juan Gate, the only remaining of five entry points into the old town.
Paseo La Princesa is a broad promenade that stretches from near the docks at the foot of the city and leads to the lovely Raíces Fountain. On weekends, you’re likely to find all kinds of stalls lining the road, and maybe even a free cultural performance to enjoy. The best time to enjoy the walk or bike ride is during sunset when you’ll have gorgeous views of the bay from the fountain, and you’ll escape the heat of the day.
The fountain was designed by architect Miguel Carlo Raíces in 1992 to commemorate and celebrate the New World’s 500th anniversary. This collection of bronze statues honors Puerto Rico’s mixed African, Spanish and Taino/Amerindian heritage. This concept is visually represented as a ship being steered out into the open sea with leaping dolphins leading the way to a bright 21st-century future. The picturesque San Juan Bay serves as a backdrop to the statue, adding an interesting dimension to the ship at sea concept.

The Cuartel de Ballajá was formerly a military barracks and military hospital for Spanish soldiers, and now houses the Museum of the Americas, as well as a music school and a number of eating establishments. The barracks was also used by American soldiers from the end of Spanish rule until about 1939. One of San Juan’s key architectural landmarks, it boasts a large courtyard and three floors among its important features. Here you can also find the Sate Historic Preservation Office, who acts as the owner of the landmark.
The Museum of the Americas has three permanent collections: African Heritage, the Indian in America, and Popular Arts in America. The museum boasts a collection of history from the American continent, emphasizing its roots and connections to Puerto Rico’s history, through expositions and cultural activities.
