#NoBro, keeping it classy!

Dmitry keeps spotting the good ones…


universal advice to #bikenyc jerks.

Posted: October 12th, 2010 | Author: newamsterdamize | Filed under: bike lane, bikesnob, snark, style | No Comments »

here’s two great posts from the bicyclette blog. i just love the last paragraph…

She’s so hot she’s making me a sexist. Bitch (NSFW)

I ride my bike everyday. I know the difference between a cruiser with a coaster break and a fixie. I call it a saddle, not a seat. I am no mechanic, but I can change a tire and fix a flat. Just because I ride in a dress and I like pink bikes, does not mean I am any less of a cyclist than, let’s say, these dudes.

However, plenty of male cyclists, and specifically tumbleloggers, would have you believe this is the case. To them, any woman who dares to ride in her everyday attire must be a fashion-obsessed dummy, as if riding in an attractive outfit and and being a committed, impassioned cyclist are mutually exclusive. For instance, Dottie from Let’s Go Ride a Bike writes of a demeaning experience at a Chicago bike shop:

I don’t have to add commentary, I’ll simply repeat some choice quotes from the guy assisting us [at the bike shop].

“You girls aren’t dressed for test riding bikes.”

“You can’t ride that bike in a skirt…I’m just trying to save you some  embarrassment.”

“You girls should stay on the sidewalk…be careful out there, girls.”

“How was your photo shoot?”

Responses from the bicyclette’s readers…

This post is SO true. The amount of looks I get from fellow cyclists on the road is ridiculous.

Just because I decide not to wear lycra and go down the road at Tour de France speeds does not make me anything less of a cyclist.

Bicycles come in many different shapes and sizes. My bike is of a minority in my area: it has no gears, a sprung saddle, and yes, even a pretty basket on the front. It still has two wheels, two pedals, a saddle, and yes, even handlebars. It doesn’t make me any less worthy of cycle lane space.

In the short time I’ve had my bike, I’ve been overtaken viciously, been shot abuse at, and even told by a fellow cyclist to get a proper bike.

My bike is a proper bike. Its type was around before you were even born. If it wasn’t for the design of my bike, you wouldn’t have your streamlined contraptions. So have a bit more respect.

the bakfietsen invasion of #BikeNYC continues

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!!!

It's not a tour of #bikenyc w/out running into @Naparstek on his #dutchSUV bakfiet. W/ @stevevance & Tony

#BikeNYC hosts Couchcrash ‘10 on Governors Island

Posted: August 17th, 2010 | Author: newamsterdamize | Filed under: events, ride, style | No Comments »

Governors Island is a small island located off of the tip of Manhattan. It’s one of those places where you go to get away from it all and this Saturday, that’s exactly what we will do. Once on the island, we will picnic and lawn game till our hearts burst with couchsurfing love.

We’ll be joined by Couchsurfers who are attending CouchCrash 2010 and NYC area cyclists who use twitter and other forms of social media to connect with each other. If you’re on Twitter search for #BikeNYC.

Note the following:

  1. Bring food, a blanket, portable water, and be prepared to share.
  2. We value style over speed. Dress to impress.
  3. You MUST repackage all adult beverages. The ferries are know to have check points that check for more than that. Be mindful of the rules. ;)
  4. If it rains, you are on your own. Visit @NewAmsterdamize for the latest updates.
  5. When in doubt call or SMS NoNeck’s hotline at +1.646.867.2263.

This event will have four meeting points.

1. Bike Ride – 11:30 am – Meet at the Williamsburg/Greenpoint Greenmarket at 11:30 am. We will promptly leave at Noon to catch the 1pm ferry in Lower Manhattan. This route will take us over the Williamsburg Bridge and down the East Side Greenway. No need to dress sporty, we ride wicked slow. At the farmer’s market, we will meet in front of the Red Jacket farm stand at the intersection of Union Ave and Driggs Ave. We will promptly leave at NOON!

2. Manhattan Ferry at Battery Maritime Building (WE WILL ride to this ferry landing) – 12:50ish – 1:15ish pm – Since the Brooklyn ferry only takes 20 bikes at a time, meeting at the bottom of Manhattan is ideal for any large group of cyclists. If you are meeting us there via Subway/own bike path, look at GI’s website for the most up-to-date info.

3. Brooklyn Ferry at Atlantic Ave (We WILL NOT ride to this ferry landing) – 1:00 pm – Meeting at the end of Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn. While I could outline all of the ways to get there, I advise you look at GI’s website for the most up-to-date info. Since it’s a first come, first serve ferry that only takes 20 bikes at a time, I HIGHLY recommend you get inline and meet us on the island. Note, it takes longer to board the boat than it does to ride the ferry to Governors Island. It’s a GREAT ferry to take to get off the island. ;)

4. Governors Island – 2:00 pm onward – We will be picnicking on the island in Noland Park, in front of the Admiral’s house. If you don’t have a bike, Noland Park is just up the hill from the Brooklyn Landing, and a 8 min walk from the Manhattan Landing. Consult a map if you need further directions.

** Once again, the weather… Since we can’t predict it, stay tuned to @newamsterdamize for the latest updates **

PS – I’ve been roped into this by @noneck. THANKS!

Calling All Hell Cats and Kittens!

Posted: August 10th, 2010 | Author: newamsterdamize | Filed under: events, news, style | 1 Comment »

I hope my female cycle chic friends show up in #BikeNYC style. Calling All Hell Cats and Kittens!

This Saturday, August 14th, you better get your little bike-riding butts over to Brooklyn, McGolrick Park, to be exact, to snag a spot in the Hell Cat! all girl bike race. Registration starts at 2 PM in the center of the park, while the actual race, complete with 7 checkpoints and promises of ridiculous tasks to perform at each, will be at 3. For the $10 fee, you will score a sweet t-shirt and a spoke card. From what I hear, there will be some pretty bangin’ prizes, so make this a must-do for this weekend. And if you’re out of shape like me, you can always ride yer ass off Saturday and sleep all of Sunday. Sounds like a plan.


SpokesNYT profiles parents & their NYC cargo bikes

this image will take you to the NYT’s article Hauling Cargo, No Car Necessary

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…

Today, we asked “#BikeNYC, does [the first weekend in April] work for NYC’s first tweed/tweet run?”

@BikeSnobNYC chimed in with 4 April 1898 AND did so on his blog! After tonight’s Ignite NYC #8, Brooklyn Edition, the gang of @NewAmsterdamize will be buying a few pitchers of NYC beer!
