Is there some plan that they have to not allow the person to just leave it on the Boardwalk?” said Rob Burstein. “If they’re suggesting 200 bikes that bikers are going to take on the Boardwalk during summer months, that’s an invitation for chaos. If that’s their plan, it seems utterly insane.” The Department of Transportation did not re- spond to inquiries about where the bikes would ini- tially be distributed, how the system would limit riding on the Boardwalk, how the technology would work, and who would be liable for injuries to riders. Another Brighton Beach activist said she was thoroughly opposed to the pedal-pushing plan — partly because some young bikers previously tried to run her down on the Boardwalk, even while she was walking with two canes. “The Boardwalk is for walking, not bicycles,” said Arlene Brenner. “At one particular time some youngsters decided, ‘let’s run into the lady,’ and in- deed they did — they got me from both sides, laugh- ing all the way, and then they started doing whee- lies.” ASTRO Continued from page 10 one rider. “It had beautiful views, and a nice breeze,” said Mark Willnauer, a Long Island resident who won a contest to be among the ride’s fi rst passengers. The ride was purpose-built for Coney Island by Zamperla Amusement Rides in Italy, and was shipped to New York in one massive piece, according to Luna Park spokeswoman Adriana Ball. The ride takes its name from former amusement park Astroland’s Astrotower, which graced the Co- ney skyline until 2013, when it was dismantled after it started swaying over Luna Park, forcing patrons to evacuate. The Astro Tower will be joined by the kid friendly Cosmo Jet and Coney Clipper pendulum rides later this summer, and follows the Thunderbolt roller coaster that opened in 2014, and 2016’s Endeavor spinning ride.

The meal — featuring chicken with herbs and spices, samosas, and saffron rice from the nearby Ye- men Café — began with the adhan, the Islamic call to worship that signifi es the times for the fi ve daily prayers. Rabbi Marcelle Hohl and Father Joseph Nu- gent, from the neighborhood’s Saint Paul’s Church, also gave interfaith blessings, which Albilal said un- derscored both the spirit of Ramadan and the impor- tance of bringing people of different faiths together. “The interfaith blessing goes with the action-ori- ented initiative because it takes all of us to make a difference,” she said. “Ramadan is about peace, har- mony, and knowing one another.
