Who’s going to the #bikenyc tweetup tomorrow in TriBeCa? <—- I am!
Photos from tonight’s Prospect Park “Moonlight Ride”
The rain held off tonight, and it turned into a perfect evening for one of Time’s Up’s monthly “Moonlight Rides” through Prospect Park.
If you’ve never done one of these (they have one in Central Park each month too!), you MUST try it out. The Prospect Park ride is always the second Saturday of every month — even in the winter!
Our leader, Jonathan, took us through some of the park’s nooks and crannies, and on paths that led to a waterfall, a dog beach, and several great waterfront lookout spots — places I never knew existed from my usual spins around the loop.
Fun fact that I learned: When workers first filled the big lake at the southern end of the park with water after they built it over a century ago, they neglected to seal the lake bed — so all the water drained out!
Here are a few photos I took from tonight’s ride:
This is ME bike riding through the Sonoma wine country in California.
Thanks to the uber-helpful folks at Wine Country Bikes for renting me a nice Trek hybrid!
Just got back from an epic vacation in Sonoma (hence my lack of posts). While there though, I happened to drive past Google’s headquarters in Mountain View — and spotted these awesome shared Google bikes!
A piece of the Smith Street bike lane stuck to my tire. White paint and tar!
They were putting markings down on the bike lane about an hour ago near President Street and I rolled right over it. It took a sharp knife to carve most of it off. Hope it didn’t damage the tire!
Somebody <3s the Manhattan Bridge bike path
Took a couple photos on my ride over two East River bridges this morning.
Someone has painted red hearts on each of the stenciled bike lane symbols on the Manhattan Bridge:
And speaking of paint, the resurfaced Williamsburg Bridge path has new paint on the north side!
