When Denise Locarni decided to open Crank Cycle East Setauket in February of this year, she knew it was going to be hard work, but she never expected the coronavirus pandemic to ultimately close gyms across Long Island until further notice.

However, the only way she would be able to do it is to have classes conducted outside with the stationary bikes spaced out more than 6 feet apart.
