Pictures first. The story Below.











So I'm pretty excited today. This weekend we had the first two tours. Technically I wanted to open April 1st but the weather has been horrible for the first two weeks of April and... I was waiting to get my insurance approved FOREVER!!! 

Anyways, all of the red tape has been sorted and the bike tours got to go out. Saturday was a ride for people supporting Bernie Sanders. We dressed our bikes up with a bunch of ribbons and signs and went riding around NYC. We even stopped by Wall Street! I didn't talk about the history. Mainly I needed to get the timing down with a group riding through the streets so I didn't delve into the history. Lots of people cheered as we went by and a million people took our picture. Hopefully one of them was Bill Cunningham. 

Sunday, my good friends, Haeky and Nosh, came on the actual tour. My very first. We had an exceptional day. It was about 65 degrees and sunny. No wind. Plenty to love about NYC. We rode the ferry across from Williamsburg to the Financial District of Manhattan. 

At some point during the picnic in the park I thought, "This is my new life. Riding bikes with people. Having fun with history and culture. Picnics. And finally working for myself." Pretty fun. 

The tour ran long because we stopped at Joseph Leonard to say hello to everyone as I know Haeky and Nosh from the restaurant. It's supposed to be four hours. We took our time and it was six. What fun! New York City is such a stunning place to see by bicycle. It just presents itself.
