Brooklyn by Bike

Hey cycling friends in New York City! Come join us this Friday (7/23) at Adeline Adeline for beer, good company and discounts on bicycle accessories. Adeline Adeline (147 Reade St in Tribeca) is friendly, female owned bike shop that specializes in dutch and city commuter cycles. We’ll be meeting up at 6:30pm followed by a ride at 7:30pm up the West Side Greenway to the Pier 1 Cafe on 70th St.

RSVP here. This event is a tweetup of our #bikenyc twitter community but all are welcome. You can follow the conversation on #bikenyc and check us out @brooklynbybike. See you Friday!

Tomorrow kicks off the beginning of #bikenyc tweetups. For those of you unfamiliar with Twitter, it’s basically a gathering of people who are interested and/or twitter about biking in NYC and you are most definitely welcome to join!

The tweetup kicks off 8/5, 6:15 at Bicycle Habitat for beverages and discounts, leaves at 7pm and is followed by a ride uptown to 70th st at Pier 1. For the folks who work uptown, you can just meet at Pier 1 as well. I will probably be there early with tired legs wondering how I will make it back to BK, join! For more info check New Amsterdamize.

Summer Streets – you know when NYC closes down the Park and Lafayette Avenues to traffic – begins this Saturday!  TA Brooklyn has planned rides for each of the dates beginning at 8:30am at Grand Army Plaza. RSVP here.

Summer Streets will take place for three consecutive Saturdays in August (August 8, 15, 22) from 7:00 am – 1:00 pm. The route will connect the Brooklyn Bridge with Central Park and there will be recommended connections along low-traffic streets to the Hudson River Greenway, Harlem and Governors Island allowing participants to plan a route as long or short as they wish.
