Lecture: A Cyclist's History of New York

New York City is home to a thriving bike culture, including the country’s largest recreational ride and scores of bike-related clubs, businesses, events, and craftsmen. Cycling historian David Herlihy, author of Bicycle: The History (Yale University Press, 2004), will present an illustrated history of biking in New York, including races, roads, equipment, clothing, and cycling's cultural impact and influences. Highlights include the bicycle crazes of the 1860s and 1890s, a milestone court case for cyclists' rights, standing-room only Six Day Races at Madison Square Garden, and technological and social changes aplenty. Sponsored by Bike New York in celebration of Bike Month NYC.

Sat., May 24, 2:00 p.m., Museum of the City of New York (1220 Fifth Ave. at 104th St.). Free with museum admission. Valet bike parking available starting at 1:30.

Ride with us throughout the year! Next up: Commerce Bank Five Boro Bike Tour on May 4, 2008.
 

Tired of of the peak hour standstill? Envious of fit cyclists cruising past the congestion? Like to ride but need more cues, clues, companionship? A panel of Sydney movers and shakers in the cycling community present a "mini-sustainability symposium" of new, novel and increasingly necessary ways you can transform your daily commute. Meet these cycling advocates, learn about Bike Bus and riding with bike buddies, and open your mind to bicycles built for a sustainable future, including the multi-modal - or folding - bicycle. Bromptons and the new tikitTM, Bike Friday's answer to global oil addiction, will be briefly demonstrated. Refreshments will be served by Clarence St Cyclery. Note: Clarence St Cyclery do not endorse the purchase of any particular brand of bicycle at this event.

Read the inaugural 2007 event report

The inaugural 2007 rally was a blast! Here is an event especially for our SatRDay owners. John and Ann Hoyt invite recumbent riders, especially SatRDay owners, to a weekend rally based at their divine cottages by the sea. John says: My wife and I would like to host you folks in September at our cottages in Rye. Rides will vary from 17 miles to 45 miles to a lot longer if you wish and all sorts of combinations in between. Portsmouth is just an 20 minute ride by bike from here and it's quite the quaint town (lots of restaurants and shopping). York and Ogunquit Maine are about 20 - 30 minutes by car or an hour by bike. Again, lots of restaurants and shopping. Our rocky coast is a great place to relax and read or just gaze or whatever. A good place to just get a feel for this area is the Official NH guide book go to the seacoast region. Our web site is www.hoytslodges.com . Special cottage rate for attendees. Call us or better yet, come on by, park here for the day, and check out the coast. [Editor's note: John and Ann are two of the coolest and nicest people you are every likely to meet in your life, ever - the Gal] Permalink: http://www.bikefriday.com/events/ryerecumbent
