Urban Athletics: NYC at Night Bike Ride
Fri, Aug 7, 11:45 PMNew York is a completely different city after dark. During the day, people are out riding bikes, soaking up the sunshine, and pretending they enjoy paying $8 for coffee. But once the sun goes down, most cyclists tuck their bikes away and head home. That’s like ordering a pizza, throwing away the cheese, and proudly announcing that the crust was the best part. You're missing half the experience. If you're a fellow night owl—or simply someone with questionable sleep habits—come join me for a late-night ride through the city. **The plan...** We'll meet in Union Square and pedal our way around some of New York City's most iconic landmarks. They're impressive during the day, but at night they transform into something even better: beautifully illuminated and, in some cases, suspiciously free of tourists. Our route includes the Washington Square Arch, the Brooklyn Bridge, South Street Seaport, the World Financial Center, Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle, the Plaza Hotel fountain, the glowing Apple cube, the sensory overload that is Times Square, the New York Public Library and its famous stone lions, and the Flatiron Building. We'll also do a loop through Central Park after dark, stopping at Bethesda Fountain and Belvedere Castle—because nothing says “good decision-making” like wandering through a giant park at midnight with a bunch of strangers from the internet. **The important stuff...** * The ride will be about 28 miles round trip at a casual pace of roughly 12 mph. If midnight is normally when you transform back into a pumpkin, this may not be the meetup for you—we'll be out late. * We'll stick to bike lanes whenever possible, but the city planners, in their infinite wisdom, neglected to place protected lanes directly in front of every famous attraction. You should be comfortable riding in traffic. Helmets and bike lights are absolutely required, both for safety and to improve your odds of being seen by taxis. * Please make sure your bike is in good working order before the meetup. Bring a lock, a spare tube, a patch kit, and a pump. New York has many wonderful qualities, but fixing your flat at 1:00 a.m. on the side of the road is not one of them. * Check your email before heading out for any last-minute updates and my phone number, which will be sent to everyone who RSVPs. * And speaking of RSVPs: please only sign up if you genuinely plan to come. Space is limited, and "I totally meant to make it" sadly does not propel a bicycle. Serial no-shows and last-minute cancellers may be removed from the event. * Sorry, no guests for this one. * Rain cancels the meetup, because while we enjoy adventure, recreating scenes from The Dark Knight on two wheels is a bridge too far.

Hudson Loop/Molos
Sat, Aug 8, 3:00 PM*\- Reservations open July 8 at 10:00am* Let's ride the Hudson Loop - a classic Dana & Oliver ride. This is a 35-mile ride at a medium pace, **for Brompton bicycles only.** Check out photos from previous Hudson Loop rides below! We'll start at the Intrepid, then ride up the Hudson Greenway, and cross the George Washington Bridge. After crossing the bridge we'll ride down the New Jersey side to the Paulus Hook Ferry, where we cross back to Tribeca. Finally, we'll ride back up to the Intrepid to close the loop. There's a late lunch/early dinner stop on the NJ side at Molos, a beautiful Greek restaurant for a delicious lunch on their terrace with gorgeous views of the city. **WHAT TO EXPECT** * The full loop is 35 miles long. * This ride is mostly flat, with a notable climb to the George Washington Bridge. * This ride includes 3 miles of busy city street riding on the NJ side (no bike path, but mostly with a wide shoulder). The rest is beautiful bike path on the river. * Molos ist a wonderful restaurant with gorgeous views of Manhattan and excellent food. That said, it is on the pricier side. Please check their menu in advance and ***do not sign up*** for this ride if you are not ok with the menu. [https://molosrestaurant.com](https://molosrestaurant.com/) * We will have an extra long chain to lock all Brompton's securely in a secluded back yard while at the restaurant - feel free to bring your own lock, but you don’t need to! **RIDE LEVEL** Chill / Relaxed Pace: 16 kmh / 10 mph Distance: 35 miles Everyone is welcome, no one will be left behind. **WHAT TO BRING** * Sun glasses * Please ensure your tires are inflated and your bike is in good working order * Spare inner tube in case of flats - everyone should bring this * A beverage and some food for the after party **PLEASE MAINTAIN YOUR RSVP!** If you can’t attend, please update your RSVP so someone from the waiting list can have your spot. Riders with a history of “no shows” may be removed from the ride in favor of others on the waiting list. **PLEASE RESPECT THE WAITING LIST!** We need to maintain our maximum rider-to-leader/helper ratio and cannot include more riders than we officially confirm on Meetup, so please respect the waiting list, thanks! **Happy Riding!** **Cancelation** This ride will cancel in the event of severe weather. If the weather looks uncertain, we will post an update on the morning of the ride by 7:00am.

Manhattan Summer Streets 2026
Sat, Aug 15, 2:30 PMLet’s participate in Manhattan Summer Streets 2026. Summer Streets is an annual celebration of New York City's most valuable public space – our streets. On select summer Saturdays our city’s usual traffic noise and honking horns will be replaced with open streets teeming with walkers, bikers, runners, and performers. Discover a wealth of free cultural programs, performances, fitness classes, interactive art, giveaways, and much more as you experience the city in this whole new way. We’ll meet at the Maine Monument in the southwest corner of Central Park, opposite Columbus Circle, at 10:30 am. Wheels up at 11 am sharp. We’ll ride the lower part of the park drive up to 72nd Street, exit and head east to Park Avenue, where we’ll pick up the vehicle-free Summer Streets and head south. Our route will take us around Grand Central Terminal and south on Park Avenue, Fourth Avenue and finally Lafayette Street to the Brooklyn Bridge (which we will not ride over). At the bridge we will turn around and retrace the same route back to Columbus Circle, where we can grab a bite in the Turnstyle Underground Market. Criollas has wonderful empanadas and is owned by a Bromptoneer. There are other options as well. https://share.google/oFEBoRmo7ViR1zp8t If you are more adventurous and want to ride north of 72nd Street on Park Avenue (the traffic-free route continues to Dykman Street in Northern Manhattan/Inwood), you will have the option to leave the group at that point. Note: Summer Streets does get crowded and our group will likely separate. With that in mind, we will stop at prearranged points to regather and continue. Here are those pre-arranged points: SOUTHBOUND/DOWNTOWN Park Avenue and 36th Street (northwest corner) Lafayette Street and East 10th Street (northwest corner) Lafayette Street and Chambers Street (northwest corner) NORTHBOUND/UPTOWN Park Avenue and 46th Street (northeast corner) Park Avenue and 71st Street (on 71st between the northbound and southbound lanes of Park Avenue) This is a chill ride with a total distance of approximately 12 miles. It is generally flat, but there is a hill on the way back, on Park Avenue above 50th Street. Here is our ride route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/56383131 More on Summer Streets: https://share.google/4p7Tens9xiie4chJu

We'll bike down the East River and end the ride at the Manhattan side of the Queensboro Bridge. (There are path closings on the East River, so we will need to bike on 2nd Avenue for parts of this.) You can exit the ride wherever you're close to home, or bike with us to Brooklyn if that's your destination. **Route** You can view the route on [Ride with GPS](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47093411) **What to bring** * Head light and tail light are essential * Picnic blanket if you have one * Picnic snacks or food to share * Your own beverages The bathrooms on Randalls Island are often closed, so please plan accordingly.
