Hudson Greenway/Picnic

Let’s ride our Bromptons from Lower Manhattan to Riverside Park for a picnic by the Hudson River and back! This is a 10-mile social ride at a slow pace, **for Brompton bicycles only.** **DETAILS** We’ll meet at the base of the Christopher Street Pier on the Hudson Greenway. We’ll depart punctually at 11:30am sharp after 30 minutes of socializing. We’ll roll at 11:30am sharp. At the meeting point, there are restrooms for us to use. If needed, restrooms will also be available at 43rd St and 69th St right by the Hudson Greenway. The entire route is on a paved, comfortable bike path, with very little traffic to cross and no major obstacles to expect. We will stop at Zabar's (Broadway/80 St) to get the food for our picnic - so you don't need to bring anything in advance. At Riverside Park, we will spread out on the grass, overlooking the Hudson River and have a picnic. After the picnic, we will ride back on the Hudson Greenway, just as we came, with the option for riders to either drop out when they are close to home or follow us across the Brooklyn Bridge into DUMBO, Brooklyn. We will have a small After Party on our rooftop terrace to round off the glorious day. **RIDE LEVEL:** Chill / Relaxed Pace: 16 kmh / 10 mph Distance: 10-13 miles (depending on your choice to ride back) There will be at least one short stop along the way.

Urban Athletics: Bike the NYC Bridges by Night

The other night I was on my bike riding around town and was struck by how dramatically the vibe of the city changes once the sun sets. People get out on their cycles and enjoy this town during the day but most of us put them away when the evening comes. That's like ordering a slice of pizza, throwing away the cheese and only eating the crust -- you're only getting half of what makes the experience great. **The plan...** We are going to take a nighttime tour of the East River bridges, we'll wheel through three boroughs and cross over five spans -- the Queensboro, Pulaski, Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn bridges. This ride will highlight the stunning vistas only viewable from our water crossings and take in different views of the sparkling nighttime Manhattan skyline. If there was ever a time to go through the hassle of carrying your camera with you, this will be it. **The important stuff...** • This is going to be a casually-paced ride of about 17 miles. Most of the ride will take place in bike lanes but there will be parts with some automobile congestion. You must be comfortable riding in a group and in traffic. Lights and reflectors for your bike are also REQUIRED by law. **Helmets are mandatory otherwise you will not be allowed to ride with the group.** • This is a night ride so dress to be seen by motorists and pedestrians -- bright or reflective clothing is a must. • Make sure your bike is in good working order before the meetup and bring a lock in case we need to leave our cycles. Also bring a patch repair kit, air pump, and spare inner tube. • Rain cancels the meetup. Here is the map of the ride: TO COME

Hudson Greenway / Riverside State Park Picnic

Brooklyn Piers - Beginners Skate

**Note: This is a beginner event, but not an absolute beginner event. You should know how to brake.** This will be a chill slow-paced skate through Brooklyn's Piers and on a bike path. We will meet on the Pier 2 promenade behind the blue handball court. FYI: Bring water and wear your safety gear and sun screen.

Hotdog Skate 🌭 (intermediate)

This is a morning skate to the Hot Dog eating contest to Coney Island on the Fourth of July! This is an intermediate skate that starts in Washington Square Park, goes over the Manhattan Bridge, and through Brooklyn to Coney Island, starting at 9AM. We will plan to get there at 11AM, so we can hopefully see most of the women's competition and catch the men's event. Please feel free to eat as many hot dogs as you like as soon as we arrive in Coney Island 😉. This will be a one-way skate, so plan on taking the subway home or skating back to Manhattan yourself once the contest is over. Start : Meet up at 8:45 AM Under the Arch in Washington Square Park. 9AM rollout. Duration : 2 Hours Distance : 13.5 Miles End : Nathan’s Famous in Coney Island Difficulty : Intermediate

Wheels & Beer - 3 Beers for 3 Gears

"3 Beers for 3 Gears" is a chill, roughly 14-mile hangout ride rolling from Domino Park (I will ride from Grand Army Plaza) to LIC's Hunters Point Park, the Navy Yard, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and down to Red Hook. It's part of the "Wheels & Beers" series, which means the vibe is more friends-on-bikes than training ride: we cruise, chat, stop to enjoy the views, and grab a couple of drinks (not necessarily beers) along the way. The ride will end officially at Strong Rope Brewery in Red Hook. Bring lights, a helmet, water, and a lock, plus your best attitude and a willingness to ride mostly for the company rather than the miles! This is an informal ride; each rider is solely responsible for their own safety, equipment, and compliance with traffic laws. I’m not providing supervision or instructions—I’m just sharing the time and the route. By attending, you acknowledge the inherent risks of urban cycling and agree that you alone are responsible for your riding decisions and any consequences. The ride will be canceled in case of rain. \- Drink responsibly; Ride respectfully \- https://ridewithgps.com/routes/55933396

Beach to Beach Skate (INTERMEDIATE)

We're taking an easy(intermediate) roll from Coney Island to Rockaway Beach and back. It's 11-12 miles each way. We're gonna rest at Rockaway for a few hours. Then we'll skate back to Coney Island to catch the 4th of July Fireworks. Running late - You can meet us at Far Rockaway and do just the skate back to Coney Island, but that's only half the fun. Bring your bathing suit, sunscreen, sunglasses, and beach vibes. Bathing suit optional. Beach vibes mandatory. Intermediate - While our pace is moderate, we are skating a significant distance. For those new here, an intermediate skater knows how to manage speed, energy, hydration, and varied surfaces during a variety of conditions. They can safely navigate around pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles, and dogs.

Queens Neighborhood - Beginners' Skate

**This is a beginner event, but not an absolute beginner event. You should know how to brake.** This will be a chill slow-paced skate down 34th avenue. 34th Ave is mostly flat and closed to thru traffic. We will need to stop at intersections for light traffic on the streets that intersect 34th avenue. We'll meet on 34th Ave in front of PS398 Q. FYI: Bring water and wear your safety gear and sun screen.

Jones & Tobay Beach

**Jones Beach** and Tobay Beach **Saturday July 11**, 2026 (rain date Sunday July 12) The complete Jones Beach skate is a 50-mile skate (30 miles advanced on roads and 20 miles intermediate at a slower pace on an amazing mostly flat bike path) from Central Park to Jones Beach and Tobay Beach and then back to Wantagh. **LONG (advanced skate) from Manhattan**: Meet at **8:30** am and LEAVE promptly at **8:45** am (NO BS because we want to be to Wantagh on time) at 59th and 5th Ave (TNS Spot by the William Tecumseh Sherman Monument). We will be at Wantagh before 12:45 pm and will join anyone who took train to Wantagh. **SHORT (intermediate skate) 20 mile Option:** Meet at Wantagh Railroad Station. Take the LIRR from Penn Station to Wantagh and skate 20 miles (very flat and almost entirely on a bike path) to Jones Beach and Tobay Beach and then back to Wantagh. Group-Up by the white gazebo between CitiBank and the train station at 3282 Railroad Ave Meet at **12:30** pm, LEAVE at **12:45** pm (or maybe a bit later if NYC group is delayed). We will be sharing our live location via whatsapp. From Penn Station, take the **11:38** am LIRR to Wantagh train station (Babylon-Line) arriving at **12:33** am. We will stop at Tobay Beach for food and drink at either Surf Shack or Boat Yard, both nice places on a quiet inlet from 2:15 to 3:45 pm. Another option is to skate further east on the bike path after reaching Tobay Beach. The path goes another 10 miles. Can go all the way to Oak Beach, near Robert Moses Beach, 10 miles each way (or just to Cedar Beach Marina, 5 miles each way), but this would mean skipping food and drinks. Skate east for 30 minutes then reverse back to Tobay Beach, as we will be leaving at 3:45 pm. Bicyclists welcome! (Bring a lock!) After the break, we will skate back to Wantagh train station to return to Manhattan via the LIRR, so bring footwear. Either 5:07 PM from Wantagh to Penn @ 6:00 pm or 5:36 pm from Wantagh to GCT @ 6:27 pm or 6:07 pm from Wantagh to Penn @ 7:00 pm Saturday and Sunday Train Schedule is the same

11th Annual Rockaway Ride

**REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND [https://joinoutsiders.com/events](https://joinoutsiders.com/events)** The Rockaway Ride is Outsiders' flagship summer tradition: a 20-mile journey from downtown Manhattan to the shores of Rockaway Beach. You'll cross the Brooklyn Bridge, wind through some of New York's most iconic and under-explored neighborhoods, and make a pit stop in Red Hook before pushing all the way out to Queens. And when you roll up to the beach, the real party begins. **THE RIDE** This isn't a race. No spandex required, no carbon fiber in sight. Think jean shorts, commuter bikes, and good company. We roll at a social pace, which means plenty of time to take in the city, chat with the group, and actually enjoy the journey. The whole thing takes about 3 hours, and every mile is worth it. There's no better way to see New York than from a bike, and this route takes you through corners of the city that even lifelong locals have never explored. Starting at Unlimited Biking on Chambers St, you'll cross the **Brooklyn Bridge** and make your way to **Red Hook** for a stop at the legendary **Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pie**. From there, the route carries you up to **Prospect Park**, entering at 9th Street and cutting through one of Brooklyn's greatest treasures. You'll exit onto **Ocean Ave** and head south through **Midwood**, into **Marine Park**, and then push east through the Rockaways all the way to the sand. Twenty miles. Eight neighborhoods. One unbeatable finish line. 📍 Full route map: *[View Here](https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/2/viewer?mid=1RulYNlE1mtprWP1KlOzpo1ne0KawUAY&ll=40.640321227760346%2C-73.9144614&z=12)* **RED HOOK STOP** Our mid-ride stop in Red Hook is worth the miles on its own. Pick up a slice from **Steve's Key Lime Pie**, a neighborhood institution and one of the best bites in all of New York. Don't skip it. **THE BEACH** This is where the afternoon takes off. Once you hit the sand, the ride is done and the party is on. We'll be posted up at Rockaway Beach 86 for the rest of the afternoon: swimming in the waves, playing beach volleyball, and soaking up the sun with good music going all day. Grab food and drinks at **Ripper's**, one of the best beach bars in the city, right on the boardwalk. Complimentary drinks on us in our beach coolers to celebrate another year on the road. 🍻 This is the finish line, and it looks a lot like summer. **NEED A BIKE?** Rent through our partners at Unlimited Biking at a discounted rate. **They'll even pick it up at the beach so you ride home free**.
