Urban Adventures Part I

Urban Adventures Part I
Originally uploaded by suzannemo.

My NYC friends and I have been experimenting with self-organized Urban Adventures over the past few weeks. Two weekends ago we rented bikes and trekked 30 miles (50 KM) around Manhattan and Brooklyn, including riding over the Brooklyn bridge. Since Brooklyn is as close as you get to "the wilderness" in New York City, it was a fun-filled adventure complete with trees and grass. As we sped through the streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant we passed all the hassidic jews wearing their traditional sabbath dress. When I realized that they were staring at the strange half-indian, 1/8 irish, 1/8 australian, BIKE GANG traversing the streets even more than we were staring at their funny hats...I thought to myself..."Only in New York."
