Friday Night

After the sun had gone down last night, we headed over to the Upper West Side for the Time's Up midnight cycle ride. Each month, a group of cyclists journey through the dark snaking paths of Central Park. Everyone is welcome and we'd recommend lights and (this tip goes out to a certain cyclist who had some trouble on the downhill) brakes.

Cycle Zombies Ride to Fort Greene

A large pack of screaming, blood-soaked, cycling zombies took over the streets of the Lower East Side late Saturday night and into Sunday morning. They swarmed cabs, performed Poe and Plath, and aroused the local undead as they emerged from taverns. The ride continued over the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn, finishing at a community garden in Fort Greene.
