Spring Riding WE’re Looking Forward To
By Maria Boustead
WE Bike NYC has a few rides planned for March, including the WE Bike NYC 5BBT Training Ride along the Hudson Greenway, which you’re welcome to join even if you’re not riding the 5BBT.
If some of your spring riding plans include dreaming about longer rides, you’ll definitely want to attend our Distance Riding Workshop to help get you motivated.
Or, maybe you’re just looking forward to riding with some new bike friends this spring. In that case, WE hope to see you at our Happy Hour, which is in Morningside Heights this month, or meet-up with you virtually in the Female Bike Forum on Facebook.
Why WE Love Biking in NYC
By Maria Boustead
Best way to see and get to know the city. Hilda C. says that “riding reminds her how alive the city is”, and WE totally get that. From skyline views on the bridges to bike-wandering through neighborhoods, to figuring out what lies between Point A and Point B, biking through NYC reveals all that the city has to offer on a daily basis.
It’s a faster and a more reliable way to get around. Commutes by bike are often faster than taking public transportation or a taxi, and they’re certainly more reliable. As Maryanne D. said, “Instead of reading poetry in motion, we get to be poetry in motion”.
Biking gets you outdoors. Spending time outdoors is important but it can be hard to find the time in the hustle and bustle of city life. Biking in NYC gets you outside, and often into our beautiful parks and growing number of bike paths. Even in winter time! (Check out our WE Bike Winter Warmer Ride below).
It’s good exercise – and it’s (mostly) free. Many of our community members mentioned how they love getting the exercise and saving money on a gym membership. Whether you have a need for speed or just like to cruise along, biking beats sitting every time.
Feeling like a beautiful badass. WE like to bike because it does a mind and body good. And as Bev P. added, “…that Beautiful, Badass Feeling!”.
Looking for people with whom to experience all the joys of biking in NYC? Meet other riders on our Female Bike Forum and/or join a WE Bike NYC ride this year!
