Yep - that would be fine by me. Just don't want to set off in the rain.

Accuweather

I am in. And I'll ride in the rain or take a subway, no problem.

I'm in so long as it isn't actually raining at 8

I agree with Mougar. I'll get wet later, but won't get wet right away.

If it's as humid as the weather reports say, it might actually be beneficial to get wet later.

hey Beavis, you have no excuse not to show up ...you now have a bike.

If we're lucky we get the rain/storm right now and it'll make the night cooler.

No worries if you want to join in and haven't posted - just turn up - under the arch, Grand Army Plaza @ 8pm.

See you soon!

We are picking MeredithB up at Park Circle at 8.15pm so you can join us there as well, though you'll have to find us somehow.

BigGuy may be joining later.

A non-Brooklynian friend of mine will join us at Avenue C as well.

Excellent! The more the merrier!

I am about to roll ;-)

Wonderwheel. All of us or none of us.

We witnessed The Greatest Man on Earth

Great trip. Must be repeated next year, maybe an hour earlier so we can actually go to Tatiana's or whatnot, and Shoot the Freak.

indeed.

...Shoot the freak definately is a must do for next trip.

Thanks to carnivore for the last-minute invitation and helmet, whynot for the bike loaner, and the Magnificent Seven posse for not making me feel too lame for getting back on a bike for the first time in more than a decade.

Ultimately this means though that you now have no more excuses for the midnight rides! You and Carni can go bike-shopping together ;-)

It was great!

We don't necessarily have to wait a year!

That was fun despite the rain. So glad dennisobell could join us! I can't wait for meredithb to post the awesome pics we took of this guy:

I just got my bike tuned up - it was definitely necessary (no more brake pads, loose chain, wobbly wheel) and I have to say the guys from R&A (infamous bike store with attitude on 5th) really hooked me up. I only paid for the new brake pads but nothing else although my warranty has long been up. NICE.

I was just at r&a this morning and did alright. I had to wait longer than I would have liked but they were nice enough and had the parts I wanted for less than an obscene amount.

This was Mougar on the Wonder Wheel:

Oooh....whose the legs? :shock:

yea, I'm ok with him being the person with legs, or the guy in the black t-shirt
...but am curious.

Carnie, I've never met Mougar ...which one is he?

P.S. MOOGAR, on the other hand is a good guy.

I say we bike to Jacob Riis park soon. Daytime weekend. The International Kite Festival has been canceled due to recession, unfortunately.
