Two Bike Pools were held today one in the morning and one in the evening. I rode the sound bike for the evening ride. No hassle, just a good ride. Here is the info if you want to join up tommorow.
Bike-Pool ride to work. Group ride. We already know the best way to
get to work is on a bike, MTA strike or not, now lets ride our bikes
together like thousands of people who cram into cars to share the
commute, only we're doing it on bikes.

Meet 8:45am - 9am. Leave close to 9am
Brooklyn side of the Manhattan bridge
We''ll head over to Prince St & 6th Ave and then go up 6th Ave until
the entrance of Central Park at 59th Street
Dress warm, bring coffee, green tea, ban-cha tea, grain coffee,
redbull, rockstar or whatever gives you that buzz. Just like a
carpool we'll see familiar faces, talk about the job, who's cheating
on who, how mean the boss is, talk stock tips or global warming is not
a myth...ufo sightings...etc.
PS. If you are really enthusiastic you can join me between 8am - 9am
at the Manhattan side of the bridge. We'll be giving out donated
hats and gloves for and pumping tires for any unprepared cold
cyclists.
There will be another Evening Bike Pool tommorrow.
Meeting at the center park in Columbus Circle. (this is a new park and it puts you in the center of where the cars go round round. I have a feeling this will be a hot new meeting spot for events)
6pm.
It is a short, quick ride south on traffic-free 5th Ave. We can end at 49 Houston St and have some cocoa or you can continue onto one of the near by bridges to Brooklyn.
15 or so riders showed up tonight for the ride and it was a blast.
Please pass this info on to anyone who rides a bike. Press is welcome.
*edit. these events are being held by Time's Up!
