Welcome to non binary bike club!
We're a regular(ish), year round(ish) bike ride based in Brooklyn, New York.
Next ride is : Roosevelt Island & Skee-Ball
Howdy folks! xena here.
The federal holiday called Labor Day partially serves to de-emphasize the history of the Haymarket affair and the associated International Workers’ Day. Indeed, the government’s version of the history doesn’t mention May Day or any militant leftist movements.
Regardless, those of us who get Monday off work can still be grateful for the pittance of relief from our toil. And we’re going to celebrate the so-called "end of summer" with another longer ride! This week, we’re riding 25 km (15 mi) with short stops along the way. Some highlights:
- Newtown Creek Nature Walk (I’m actually not sure if it’ll be open after dusk but we’re gonna try)
- The Girl Puzzle monument
- a rare eastbound (uphill) Sunnyside routing
- the much beloved Kosciuszko Bridge
We’ll end at Full Circle Bar , where there’s plenty of Skee-Ball and other arcade games for your late evening pleasure.
We’ve been so happy to ride so consistently this summer. Even with two injured organizers and one international vacation, we’ve only skipped two weeks in the past four months. That’s incredible! To all of you who have led rides, developed routes, swept and blocked: you make this club happen. And we’ll keep making it happen with everyone’s help!
Our regular group rides currently meet Wednesdays at 7:00 pm, starting at Fort Greene Park, just inside the park near the Willoughby Av / Washington Pk entrance. There are bathrooms and water fountains close by, at the top of the hill.
