Tips for Day-of Event

Summer Streets is all about you! You choose how to use the street space to - play, walk, bike, or just breathe.

What to Bring
Everyone
  • Bring a water bottle filled with water
  • Wear sunscreen
  • Bring a camera (and join our photo contest!)
  • Bring a Metrocard just in case you need a lift getting home
Cyclists
  • A snugly fitting helmet (required by law if you're under 14, a good idea for everyone!)
  • Patch kit, pump and tire levers (there will be bike repair stations, but it's always good to be prepared)
  • A bike bell is required by law for all bikes
  • A bike lock if you want to stop along the way
  • A bike map (call 311 or visit a local bike shop for a free copy, we'll also have some at the event)
Help make Summer Streets enjoyable for everyone by following our simple etiquette tips.
