Social Cycling NYC: TNSR – Forest Hills and Chill
December 9, 2021 @ 19:30 - 21:30 EST
What To Expect
There’s COLD in them hills! This week we’re going to gr
flying down Queens Boulevard to check out some cute
houses in Forest Hills before winding our way back to
the Unisphere. We’ll stop at McDonald Park for food
there are a LOT of open-late options nearby. Since it’s
projected to be quite cold on Thursday, most (though
not all) of this route is very close to the subway in case
you feel like bailing off/have a mechanical. Dress
warmly, everyone!

Please remember, the pandemic isn’t over. Wear masks
bring hand sanitizer and do your best to distance
socially while riding and when we stop.
We will do our best to stick together but please have
someone’s number to call in case you get separated
from the group. There are a few stretches where
everyone will be invited to pedal at their preferred pace
and mass up points will be called out along the route.
So grab your bike, lights, lock, bell, snacks, drinks,
cash, camera and bring your friends!!

CAUTION: If you like to ride ahead of the lead, please be sure to test the route for your own safety and for the safety of anyone that doesn’t know the route and follows you. Feel free to ride ahead on bridges as we always mass up on the other side.
WHAT YOU NEED:
NYC Department of Transportation Bicycle Laws, Rules & Regulations require: White headlight and red taillight must be used from dusk to dawn, bell or other audible signal (not whistle), working brakes, and reflective tires and/or other reflective devices.
Social Cycling NYC strongly recommends that every cyclist: Follows NYC DOT rules, EXPECTS all cyclists to accept personal responsibility for their own actions (or lack thereof), and recommends cyclists bring/use bikes, helmets, locks, IDs, money for food and drinks, and cycling friends!
HOW:
WE ride AS traffic and NOT AGAINST it. We stop at red lights, yield the right of way and let cars pass as best we can. We don’t block intersections. We are nice to both our fellow riders and the other traffic on the road. LISTEN TO the volunteers helping to lead the ride. They are some nice people and have your best interests in mind. If you have any questions about the rules, please check here: http://on.nyc.gov/19dsixi
REMINDER:
The goal is to create a safe environment for all riders, but we cannot control, nor do we desire to, every rider’s behavior. We promote personal responsibility and all riders are responsible for themselves. If you choose to ride with us, then you accept the risks inherent in riding a bicycle with a large group of other people riding bicycles.
