Coney Island Bike Trip - final

This just seemed a fitting final shot after a day of abandoned buildings, monolithic bridges and a crazy amusement park. Having ridden the rides (well, ok ONE) we got ice cream and popcorn and got on the F train going back home... and I look forward to next summer when I can take that bike ride again....

Yeah, I went up in that. Mr. I'm Afraid of Heights. Yes, I did it. It's not until you're really up in it that you realize just how high you are - and just how flimsy the little 'seat belt' that's holding you in is. Ack. I'm dizzy just looking at it! LOL

A fond look back at a beautiful summer day in August when my friend Brian and I rode our bikes from Manhattan all the way to Coney Island, which was the first time I'd ever been there!

Coney Island Bike Trip August 14th, 2010

A few weeks ago, my friend Brian and I rode from the West Village in Manhattan down to the Brooklyn Bridge, over and down all the way to Coney Island. It was an incredible, exhilarating day and starting today I'm going to be sharing images from the ride. We rode some rides and spent the day enjoying the beautiful weather... and I can't wait til next summer when I can do it all over again!
