How long can Mr. Long go? Tour de Brooklyn 2014

Solomon Long, retired principal of Crown Heights' P.S. 91, grew up in the projects on a diet of fast food and convenience stores. He doesn't want the same for the kids in his neighborhood.

So, he's riding in the Tour de Brooklyn on June 1. 

Bike for fresh food today with us - Registration opens May 14 and sells out within days.
