Impromptu bike ride tonight

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.

you people are insane. Its 4000 degrees outside.

Ooooo! Exciting! Shiny new bike!

I dunno if I'll join... let me get back to you later....

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?

Sorry, the movie theater & Smoke Joint won

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

And that's why you love me

Flexi, need a bike?

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...

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.

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.

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.
