This past weekend we linked with our friends at Shimano Bike NYC, an urban cycling specific pop up in Soho, for a group ride around Manhattan and Brooklyn followed by an after party at the brand’s Concept Space. After pushing back the ride for a day due to storms, we were blessed with perfect weather to assemble a rad crew of enthusiasts for an official NYC bike adventure! Courtesy of Shimano Bike NYC, we outfitted the crew from a fleet of bikes by MOOTS, 8bar, Schindelhauer, SEVEN CYCLES, EVIL BIKE CO, and Boo Bicycles that were all strapped with top of the line Shimano components, meaning we were probably the flyest pack of bikers to ever hit the city streets. After a route that brought us both waterfront vistas and some gnarly pedestrian congestion plus two bridge crossings (Manhattan and Williamsburg) we headed back to the Concept Space for a proper after party with music by Miranda Maxwell. Life in NYC really doesn’t get much better than this! Thanks to everyone that rolled, can’t wait for the next one! Check out the entire day in photos by Sebastian Ramirez below.
