I finally got a new bike to replace my old clunker and I'd love to take it for a spin tonight. Anyone up for a ride around the park tonight? I was thinking of meeting at the GAP arch at 8:45pm and riding at 9pm.
-
Awesome! But I'm not going outside tonight, way too gross. Maybe tomorrow or wednesday
-
I can't do tomorrow but maybe Wednesday. I'm still up for tonight also if anyone wants to brave the heat. I just rode home from Bicycle Habitat in Soho and it wasn't bad at all.
-
I'm in. Sweat is good.For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

Sweet! You should all come! It will be fun. Think how great Sepia would be after a loop or two around the park!
-
If I'm not sitting in a cool movie theater instead (which is the plan) I will be there. Also, was just going to post about tomorrow's proposed ride: Red Hook Ballfields for a free concert of ***80s flash!!!!*** Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam?

Blow it off! Biking will be much better. -
Well..I don't have a shiny new bike like you do! So in that case beer wins for me. Which is not to say that I couldn't do it later, or on Wednesday.

You mean later tonight? I could do that. What time? Is that ok for everyone else? -
No, don't move this for me. Remember, there will be beer involved. I can't guarantee anything after that.

movies and smoking a joint is definitely the better option

I have 2, I'm just not up for riding them yet (broken ankle still not ready for that) -
I'm not down tonight, but I'm certainly down soon......not that there's anything wrong with that.
-
Late decision, but I'm on my way shortly!
-
Awesome! See you there!
-
Good times! I'm going to want to start doing this more often, so there will be plenty of opportunities for everyone to join.
-
You're going to want that or you're going to do that?
-
Time will tell. I have the same thought, and plan to ride three loops everyday until I'm employed again. So far I'm done it 5 out of the 7 possible days.For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.
-
That's really good! Do you follow up with a visit to the next local bar each time?
-
nope, only when I'm with meat boy.For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

It was, as usual, lots of fun. Carni's new bike is fab - and those smooth skinny tires made him roll fast!
-
This seems to be a biking thread so... recommendations for a place to get a first-in-a-long-time-will-need-lots-of-advice bike? Also figured I might ask you guys because this sounds fun! And would love to join in on future ones.
Thanks! -
I really like Frank's on grand street, definitely worth going out of your way for.
-
Congrats on the new bike Carni. I hope to make a ride one of these days/nights. Embereye..The Mr. & Mrs. at Mr. C's cycles in Sunset Park are very helpful and at Roy's (Sheepshead Bay area) they will take time to make sure the bike fits you properly.

Do it earlier in the day (7PM?) so those of us who have to get up at ungodly hours can join!Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches. -
I got mine at Bicycle Habitat on Lafayette in Soho and I liked the place a lot. MB- Earlier is too hot and too crowded! We already have been going much earlier than the original midnight rides (still the best time IMO).
-
Those interested can join mr and mrs whynot at 9 pm this evening.For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

I think Daver and I will go there, but we'll be on the Big Lawn (or whatever its called) to watch the meteor shower."...you can choose the rain....but I choose the sun..." - N. Costa
-
Crappus maximus, I replied 30 minutes ago that I would come along (evidently that went nowhere) and now I can't do it. 10pm would work better for me. Nevermind, I'll join you tomorrow. That's a promise.
-
I'm in for tomorrow.
-
should we do 9 or 10?For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.
-
Don't know yet. Let's play it by ear.
-
Grrrr....the weather doesn't look good. I really want to go tonight though.
-
yes, we will see how the weather looks at around 8:30, then decide whether 9 or 10 is a good idea. ...or weather to skip the ride and just go get a beerFor better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.
-
so, Der Schwarze Kölner?
-
The Black Cologner? I don't get it.
-
It's the new place in Fort Greene I think, a beer garden.
-
Is that for after the ride? Before might seriously hamper our motivation.
-
I'm riding or I'm not coming out. Not sure what happens afterwards.
-
Don't be ridiculous, there's no need to ride
-
some bikers drink. some drinkers bike. ...it is all about what comes firstFor better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.
-
I probably won't make it out if we're not riding either.
