laz Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Does anybody else here do this? http://www.bikenewyork.org/rides/fbbt/index.html http://www.bikenewyork.org/rides/fbbt/images/fbbt-route-map.gif This is going to be my fourth year in it. It is a great way to ride on places that you can't normally go on. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamikazeridah Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 did it once about 4 years ago... felt like I was gonna fall over on the first half on the Verrazano Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbastard Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 First time I did it, we heard the horn blast and didn't move for like 30 minutes and even then it was barely moving. Problem was I had to pee.....so when we go the rest station in Central Park I was going to go but the lines were aweful so I kept going. Well just before the next rest stop you go over a bridge but it was a grate and the vibration coming through the saddle damn near made me pee myself. So learn from my mistake....if you have to go just wait, it will be less embarrasing that soggy shorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
