Thru the Lens: Investors Bank Bike 4 Friendship

Marc Katz, senior VP of Investors Bank's CRE Lending Group (sixth from L-R) stands proud with cyclists team of seven on Coney Island Beach after the bikers recently completed a 3,000 mile, coast-to-coast ride in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn for children's charity. The team finished the Investors Bank Bike 4 Friendship trek, which started out in Los Angeles and lasted 38 days over mountains, deserts and prairies.

Katz has a deep affection for this year's cyclists team because his son participated in last year's cross-country journey.
