Turbo Bob is testing the Stromer

Turbo Bob's take on the Stromer electric bike

.......even though these are on the menu at NYCeWheels, I rode one here on the west coast. All the hype that has been going around made my expectations high. After the first block, I could see that no one was just blowing hot air about this bike. Very nicely done, this E-bike delivers the goods.....

NYC Century bike ride on folding bike

It was a great ride.  The beginning is my favorite part, heading down Riverside Drive along the water.  Also riding along Bleeker Street on Sunday morning with all the Greenwich Village landmarks shuttered and sleeping.  The ride bunches up on the Brooklyn Bridge walkway, which is narrow.   I tried to put some speed on during the climb so faster riders behind me won’t be slowed down, but always remember to pace myself for 35 miles.  Riding around Prospect Park is a blast!  I got lost at the end of the McGuinness Avenue Bridge and had to wait for slower riders behind me to figure out where to go (It’s a U-turn to the left). The Dahon Matrix is a pretty fast bicycle.


I didn’t start to feel tired until I reached the Queensboro Bridge.  At that point, I remembered the stairs on the Triboro Bridge, and decided to leave the designated route and ride back into Manhattan over the Queensboro Bridge.  I have been riding over that bridge for 30 years.  When I started, I was the only one.  Then I began to see people with jobs on the other side biking or walking to work.  Now it is crowded with all kinds of travelers, and it is fun to see all the different people using this marvelous and ancient piece of cycling infrastructure.

After riding across 61^st Street to the Park, I pedaled up to 110^th Street inside the Park for the finish and celebration, then returned to Connecticut the way I came, on Metro North from 125^th Street.
