The Ride
~~~~~~~~
WHAT: A leisurely 10-mile ride through Manhattan and Brooklyn
showcasing folding bicycles. All types of bikes are welcome, as
long as their riders are folding-curious! This leisurely tour
will take in sights in Manhattan and Brooklyn while enjoying
the benefits and promoting the use of folding bikes. We'll roll
together through greenways, across bridges, and along city
streets, trading tips and tales of folding successes.

Greenway, Manhattan. End location: Stuyvesant Cove Park, East
23rd Street at the East River, Manhattan.

WHEN: 2 p.m., Saturday, May 20, 2006
Optional meeting at 1:00 at Bethesda Terrace, Central Park,
to cheer on the small-wheeled bike race and ride to Folds Up.

tricycles, and more.

bikes and space for test rides.
