The scenic tour continues down the greenway to the pier where bicycles are welcome. Return to Columbus Circle around midnight. The ride is about 12 miles long and lasts approximately two hours. Weather? Our track record suggests the only time we call off these rides is when no one in their right mind would have fun. Free for bicyclists and skaters; appropriate for experienced skaters, and bicyclists of just about any skill level.

Cycle a short (30 miles) and easy ride to the Renaissance State Park in Jersey City.

Ride for Climate is a US bicycle tour to raise awareness of global warming and encourage action. Starting in Boston on April 21st, two global warming experts will ride across the US, stopping along the way to give presentations on global warming and discuss solutions. One of the riders, David Kroodsma, is a climate scientist who will have just finished an unsupported bicycle tour from California to the tip of South America. Our presentation will discuss the science of climate change, global warming as seen from David's 15,000 mile bicycle ride, opportunities for action, and David and Bill's experience biking across the country.

This theater piece presented at Dixon Place on the eve of Bike Month NYC - creates a theatrical intersection where - pedestrians, motorists and bicyclists can consider their needs, fears and desires; an intersection where realities collide!

We'll leisurely ride the loops of Central Park two to three times (6.4 miles each loop). Afterwards we meet back at the Loeb Boathouse for a bite to eat and drink. Bring a good working bicycle with your tires inflated to the appropriate psi, a bicycle pump, one spare inner tube, water to drink, a helmet (and wear it) and a smile. Rain at the start cancels the ride.

Free workshop focused on identifying parts and tools, diagnosing common problems and things you should know before buying a bike. We will also cover how to change tires and fix flats. Class is open to all levels of experience and expertise. People can use the tools to repair their own bikes, though they cannot expect guidance from the mechanics. People who want to work on their own bikes and need the help of a mechanic should come to the Open Workshop every Thursday night.

This is an open call for all of you ladies wishing to learn more about bicycle repair. Hosted by Recycle-A-Bicycle at our DUMBO retail store, this is a great opportunity to enhance your hands-on knowledge of bicycles. No prior experience is required. You will also be doing a great service, helping us to recycle bicycles and get them back on the road!
