WE Bike NYC is up to great things this summer! Join us!

Be a WE Backer!
 

 It's true. WE can't all be WE Bikers.

Some people live outside New York City, some are men- and not allowed on a lot of our rides (sorry guys), some people haven't bought a bike yet, or haven't gotten out to a ride just yet, but the great thing is, anyone can be a WE Backer, and WE are creating more and more opportunities to be involved both on and off the bike!
 
WE Bikers and WE Backers at the WE Boogie Up the Bronx ride
WE Bikers and WE Backers at the WE Boogie Up the Bronx ride in June.

Last month, WE hosted our very first all gender ride in collaboration with the Bronx River Alliance and Boogie Down Rides. Over 30 people showed up and WE all boogied up to Kensico Damn Park- 45 miles round trip! Not to mention, Laura Solis appeared on News12 talking up the event and  WE Bike NYC! Check out the segment here!

This month, WE're starting our monthly Happy Hour event- Wet Your Wheel with WE Bike NYC! Join us from 6- 8pm on the third Tuesday of every month to meet new people, learn what WE're up to this month and just talk bikes! Our very first Happy Hour will be hosted by Red Lantern on July 16th. Come on out and bring a friend!

Because in the end, WE can't do it alone, and it's nice to know, you've got our back! Thanks WE Backers!

WE can't do it without YOU!

WE Scream for Ice Cream! (And similar vegan-type things)

We will meet at Madison Square Park (southwest corner) at 2pm, and we will bike to at least 4 different ice cream places in Manhattan, including gelato and a dairy-free option! It's a one chili pepper ride, so we'll go at a slow pace, but we WILL be riding in traffic, even though I'll do my best to plan a route with the most bike lanes possible. Bring cash for as much ice cream as you want to eat. Register Now.
