This weekend on Governors Island, Julie, owner of Adeline Adeline (aka @adelineNYC), and her family ran across another bakfiet. Then @noneck ran across @naparstek and his bakfiet. If this invasion is true, we couldn’t be happier!!!

Not only will they start renting (the now bankrupt) Fietsfabriek Cargobikes, vis-a-via Rolling Orange, at Bike and Roll, BUT…

And who knows? Soon, we could be hosting the New York City’s first bakfiets race.

Shit! Now I need to save my pennies and buy the last one from Adeline Adeline. BUT the real question is, will it be a mother’s race or a no-holds-bars-copenhagenize run?

With summer in full swing, who wants to ride a bike like Lance Armstong? This is why we’re swinging by Adeline Adeline to show you some stylish rides, an opportunity to meet other #bikeNYC’rs and catch up on some refreshing refreshments.

Please join us at 6:30 at Adeline Adeline, 147 Reade St (btw Greenwich & Hudson), TriBeCa.

After 7:30 or so, and possibility weather dependent, we’ll head up the west side greenway to a little port of call with drinks, food and sunset on 70th street, pier i cafe.

*btw, a few people will be meeting up at Kiva Cafe, just a few doors down from Adeline Adeline, around 5:30 or so for tea and crumpets.

**what’s a tweetup? it’s a physical gathering of NYC cyclists who also use social media. you can see our on going conversation at #BikeNYC.

glamor moms or not, ole gorge bliss builds beautiful nyc bakfiets! in this must watch video, the Sean Patrick Farrell profiles (aka @SpokesNYT) one mother and her two daughters as they ride around town doing everything they would normally do on a train, in a cab or behind the wheel of a gas guzzler…

i can’t wait to see more bakfiets in nyc. over the last year alone, there’s been a proliferation of shops selling dutch bikes and other urban/city bikes. while the racing and hipster crowd bemoan their existence, i am ecstatic!

if you’re looking for that carry all bike, there are four locations to get bakfiets.

Adeline Adeline – TriBeCa, which features Workcycles, built in NL
HUBStation – West Village, which features modified Worksman Cycles, built in NYC
Rolling Orange – Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, which features De Fietsfabriek, built in NL
Bolognabikes – Brooklyn, hand-built frames built to your specifications.

be seeing you…
