Social Cycling NYC: Thursday Night Social Ride- Ice Cream & Chill
July 22, 2021 @ 19:00 - 20:00 EDT
This week we’re chillin in Manhattan. We’ll zig zag across the Central Park traverses, both 86th Street and 96th Street and make our way to Sugar Hill Creamery in Harlem for some social time.
From the ice cream shop, we’ll ride to the westside and travel south to Pier 76, where we will end the ride there with some beautiful views.

Please remember, the pandemic isn’t over. Wear masks, bring hand sanitizer and do your best to socially distance while riding and when we stop.
**It’s best to follow the ride leader** however, 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.
We will do our best to stick together but please have someone’s number to call in case you get separated from the group due to mechanical failure. etc.
So grab your bike, lights, lock, bell, snacks, drinks, cash, camera and bring your friends!!

Ever endeavoring to turn social cyclists into cycling commuters. The goals are to ride bikes and hang out with friends that love riding bikes.

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.
