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!

My old buddies from Vespa Soho have decided to open up a new bicycle shop that’s focusing on dutch/urban bikes, cargo bikes and zero emission motorcycles. In celebration of their opening, they are inviting the #BikeNYC community to eat, drink and see their wares. Additionally, they are thinking about renting cargo bikes.
