Riding in Williamsburg/NYC
 
Im not sure if there are specific places to do this so I apologize if there is. I commute just about everyday from Williamsburg into the city and usually do this alone. I was curious if there was anyone else out there doing the same thing at the same time. I leave my house around 9:30 or 11:30 depending on the day. I head home around 8 or 9 depending on the day. I see a few fixies sometimes, but I dont know anybody, haha. Let me know if youre interested in riding sometime. Not just for a commute but riding in general. I dont know many people around here as it is, and even fewer who ride.

I'd love those 9:30 hours ;)
When I ride into the city I ride in around 7:30am. Blah.

Yea, 9 hours isnt much to complain about when Im at the studio, but working that long as Diesel makes me want to shoot myself in the face. Thanks for the site, I applied for a membership so I'll check it out if I get accepted.

I go in at 7:30 every morning, too. I'd like to go even earlier now that the weather's better--the bridge is getting crowded!

you'll get accepted, but you won't get an email. just login; if it doesn't work, wait a day.

The bridge was nice and empty this evening due to the rain.

Skidding in the rain is pretty ineffective but damn is it fun.

Yes it was. Amazing how that happens. Same in the winter. I love riding in snow.

Haha, I thought the same thing. I registered a month ago and heard nothing. Yesterday I decided to try logging in and low and behold, it worked!
