I am attaching here some pictures of one group ... http://cyclechicny.net/blog/2008/06/17/brooklyn-pride/ So kids, I am out in the Hamptons this weekend and I am spending time with a family friend.

Second is the Brooklyn ... http://cyclechicny.net/blog/2008/05/26/interesting-cycling-club/ As I was walking out of the door with my bike, heading down to DUMBO to sign in for the ride, I wondered just why they have to start an eighteen mile tour so early.
