Queens’ Bike Day Rolls in Corona

Corona’s park pedaled last night with Queens’ Bike Day, spinning NYC’s spring wheels. Rider Tariq Evans led 200 cyclists, a free ride fest by the lake. It’s borough spokes—pure Queens vibe, chains hot. A kid wobbled fast; a pro sped smooth. ‘Queens rolls—this is it,’ Evans says, pumping tires. The paths turned raceway.

The day’s fresh—April 4’s kickoff, it tripled since RSVPs, packing trails by 3 p.m. Evans, a Flushing biker; last night’s crowd hit max—bells rang. A latecomer nabbed a bike; cheers rang—NYC grit glowed. Prizes dropped—spokes ruled. #CoronaBike trended; Brooklyn’s jealous.

Some griped—’Too packed,’ sniped a walker, dodging wheels. Dust kicked—sneezes hit; ride held. A rival’s pitching a LIC roll, splitting chains. Still, 300 stayed—bikes reigned. Corona’s never spun so hard.

Evans hints at a monthly run, maybe a night ride if spring bites. ‘NYC’s streets—this frees ‘em,’ he says, chaining rigs. The day’s a Queens win—grit meets glide. It’s a bike blast; catch the next. Bring a helmet—paths call.
