Brooklyn. Brooooklyn....BROOKLYN! Well, now that everybody's move'n ta Brooklyn, weze just gona have ta have a SPECIAL meeting of The Brooklyn Velodrome Vintage Wheelmen for youse, now ain't we! Honest, we are much scarier on line then in person. Well at least Mike Schmidt is. Although there is great riding just out side of BrOoKlYn (over The G.W. Bridge, out to Point LookOut, L.I.) there is an endless amount of interesting stuff to see by bike IN the 5 bouroughs ( See the oldest house in Brooklyn; 1647, Shore Road; where John Travolta explained The Verrazanno Bridge in Saturday Night Fever, Coney Island!). Once you get used to the traffic etc., the flood gates will open! What's e.t.a.?
Nice bikes!
