Shakin off the blog dust

Over the past couple months we've had lots of great stories to share here at Bike the Big Apple. Here are just a few.

In early May, bunch of rowdy Europeans and I stumbled upon a street fair in Williamsburg. They didn't make much progress with the unicycle but they were certainly eager to tell the television cameras how much they loved biking New York.

The following weekend, my sister, her girlfriend, and my cousin all joined us for a great ride over the Williamsburg Bridge. The beautiful weather in May made it perfect for weekend festivals in neighborhoods all over Brooklyn.

On this day, we found the Kite Festival in McCarren Park! Kite enthusiasts of all ages came to show off their tricks.

Lastly, an update on a previous posting. In late May, we made our last visit to the East 6th Street Community Garden. As you can see here, the Toy Tower is no longer. It does look like they are making some nice progress with the garden but this stop wont be the spectacular stop it once was.
