Many chances to get to the beach this summer by bike
There are many reasons to go to the beach this summer by bicycle. Its fun...its frickin hot, and we have lots of attainable beaches nearby. So here are some opportunities to get there either with group rides or by yourself.
1) Time's Up presents the: CONEY ISLAND CYCLONE RIDE
Friday, June 20th
3 Spots to meet up at:
7 p.m.- Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge
7:25- Carroll Street Drawbridge, Brooklyn (between Nevins and Bond)
7:50- 69th Street Pier, Brooklyn (Shore Parkway Bike Path Entrance)
The Cyclone Ride goes to Coney Island Amusement Park (Brooklyn) from Manhattan. They should get there just in time for the fireworks! This is a casual ride at a relaxed pace. Bring locks and plan to lock up and ride the rides. Bring money for food and amusements, and a swimsuit if you plan to hit the waves. The group usually spends about an hour and a half in the park, on the beach (and in the water!), on the boardwalk, at Nathan's, and everyone has a GREAT time! Some people return on the subway, and others ride back at a faster pace.
Visit the Time's Up website for more info.
This ride repeats 2 other times...Friday July 11th and Friday August 22nd.
Then,
Saturday the 21st, 2008
the 26th annual Mermaid Parade
brought you by the fine folks of Coney Island USA.
Get out your glitter, pasties, and cheap pirate hats and head out to one of the best events in NYC.
The parade starts at 2pm.
This years King Neptune and Queen Mermaid are those great saviors of public space and proselytizer of the evils of over consumption (not to mention he baptized me at the greatest bachelor party ever) Reverend Billy and Savitri D.
Will this be the last one before the wrecking ball turns the wonderfully seedy Coney Island into Chucky Cheese and Target? Don't wait to find out.
Then on June 29th, the inclusive Jewish organization, Hazon, which means "Vision" in Hebrew presents:
Join Hazon for this day of biking and beach lounging! We're starting from multiple locations and biking to Coney Island.. It's free, so bring your friends, compadres, family and your favorite bicycle, and ride toward the watery horizon.
The Rides converge at Coney Island (around 1pm) at Asser Levy Park, at the corner of Surf Avenue and Ocean Avenue -- tell your non-riding friends to meet us there! We will ride together to the Shorefront Y for lunch.
Time's Up is also doing a ride that day as well:
7. BEACH RIDE
Sunday, June 29
11 a.m. City Hall Park (Across from the Brooklyn Bridge entrance in Manhattan)
11:30 a.m. Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park in Brooklyn
It's summertime so let's go to the beach! This will be a great bike ride to Fort Tilden (Rockaways) beach. Bring a swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, food and/or money for food, and a lock for your bike if you don't want to leave it on the beach. We will be having a communal picnic lunch so BRING SOMETHING TO SHARE (or take a quick detour to the grocery store in Breezy Point!)
Come prepared (tools, tubes, water, etc) to ride some miles at a brisk pace.
