So today the Cap'n and I rented bikes from Metro Bicycles - from some super cool bike guys. Then we jumped in the saddle (a big gel number - not skinny like we're used to) and headed off to Coney Island.
We had the best time riding across the Brooklyn Bridge and Fran found this cool website that gave us a secret route around the traffic circles of death at Prospect Park. Then we headed down a cool bike path that ended at the Coney Island boardwalk. Sounds so easy . . . the 67 degree sunny weather made the 18 miles there breeze by.
Once on the boardwalk, we had a great time listening to music, eating a hot dog and having a well deserved beer. Then, the ride back.
We hit the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, what a beautiful site. And cruised back to the apartment in the dark, navigating traffic and amazing bike lanes.
We have decided we LOVE biking in NYC. And we have also decided we HATE gel seats - our asses hurt. But we'll get back on them tomorrow - with great new adventures. (PICTURES WHEN WE GET HOME)
