We're a regular(ish), year round(ish) bike ride based in Brooklyn, New York.
The air is electric, and not just with static from all that wool. One of the many blessings of our Wednesday rides is that they immediately follow election day. We won’t make any predictions, but just know that this week we’ll be here to celebrate, commiserate, laugh and cry, hug each other, and–of course–climb up a hill or two.
Because honestly isn’t that what nbbc is all about? Everyone who shows up is looking for something. For some, it’s just a space to meet some like-minded people. For others, it’s a reliable dose of low-stakes socializing. Or maybe it’s recovery miles with pizza at the end. Or a chance to explore, pushing our boundaries of city riding.
Whatever brings you back this week, we’re so happy to see you! Here are the details:
The route is 15km (~10mi) with three stops. First, we’ll visit the Brooklyn Heights Promenade; the cold air makes for some beautiful skyline views! Then, we’ll pick our way east on some roads I bet you’ve not taken and grab a bite at Disco Birdies in Bed-Stuy. Finally, we’ll head to ye olde Willoughby Playground to spectate and/or participate in Rallykat. Read the post if you want to race; you need to bring a bicycle part to register!
As yet another example of abundance, halo made a poster for us! They’ll also be co-leading this ride.
We’ll see you on Wednesday!
Love,
KK and jordan
