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!

Transportation Alternatives needs you and your friends to vote for BikeBuddy. This new program is a kin to a biking version of Meetup.com. Imagine networking with fellow commuters who use the same bike paths, or discovering someone else’s shortcut across town OR, better yet, finding fellow foodies for a taco run!

All you need is a BikeBuddy! Every day, until Feb 28, TA needs your vote; VOTE EARLY, VOTE OFTEN!

Sidenote – @noneck, one of the curators of this site, has been hired by TA to help organize their social media.
