\n Hundreds of bicyclists hit the streets of Brooklyn on Sunday for a socially-distanced celebration with this year\u2019s West Indian Day Parade lost to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

About 250 to 300 members of the Good Company Bike Club employed pedal power to get from Crown Heights\u2019 Lincoln Terrace Park to Fort Greene Park.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The] West Indian Day Parade was canceled, obviously, because of COVID, but biking is still safe. So, we decided to celebrate in this way,\u201d said Andre Thompson, 39, a captain of the ride. \u201cWe\u2019re just trying to get everybody outside, but in a safe way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ride \u2014 a<\/span> ticketed event capp<\/a>ed at 300 participants, with an NYPD escort for safety\u2019s sake \u2014 was intended partly to bring awareness to Caribbeans for Black Lives, and partly to let people celebrate the region\u2019s culture with the annually people-packed Labor Day parade scrapped due to COVID-19 concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something to do when we are all usually locked in the house because of COVID,\u201d said Askia Simmons, 37, who rode wearing the flag of Trinidad and Tobago. \u201cIt gives us the opportunity to come out and have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marv Marcel, chief creative officer of the Good Company Bike Club, agreed that the event was a healthy compromise with the parade a no-go.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t have any huge things happening, so we figured it\u2019s safe, we can practice social distancing while being on bikes and being healthy,\u201d said Marcel, 30.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
