Welcome to non binary bike club!

Next ride is May 6: Scrappleland pinball

You certainly know the numbered streets in Manhattan increase from south to north. You also know the avenues turn to letters after 1 Av: A, B, C, D to the E ast River. For a slightly deeper cut, take a look at Greenpoint on the way in from the south. At first thought, Quay St seems apt given how close you are to the water. But (skipping Calyer St) then you see Oak, Noble, Milton, (skip Greenpoint), Kent, Java; you get the idea.

These are the times I wish some City employee would dust off all the old maps and publish something on ArcGIS. Who knows, maybe that future City employee will be me. A girl can dream…

Alas, we’re consigned to noticing these little synchronicities of the City ourselves, and then sending them out to the captive audience waiting to hear about this week’s non binary bike club ride.

This week we’re returning to Scrappleland! It’s the newish sister to Sunshine Laundromat, and just a bit further up Manhattan Av, between Box St and Ash St.

I have an idea for a 15 km route of silliness, might make it longer or shorter depending on the rain that’s threatening the forecast. But I hereby declare it warm enough to ride in rain!
