Governor's Island NY

NYC400 - Harbor Week

NYC400 celebration was going on around NYC and we went on Sun 9/13 for some biking fun.
Spotted a Brompton on the NY Water Taxi. Here is the picture.



There were Gazelle bikes on display and trial rides at Brooklyn Waterfront Park. These were big boned bikes. I rode one and it was very smooth with internal gears that shift while stationary, too. Pricey, starting at around $1400. Later i rode one of the orange bikes, seen in the background, around Governor Island.



There was a BMX Stunt show in Brooklyn Waterfront Park. Most impressive was jumping over 5 bodies lying on the ground, from a stand still.


Spotted a bike named Kinfolk, with a very unique stem with concealed clamping bolts.


On Governor Island, spotted a bike decorated with nothing but Metrocards.

Another very cool bike on Governor Island

Finale - Dutch Bike!
