WE Bike to enjoy a classic movie (Thelma and Louise!) outdoors on the big screen with a gorgeous backdrop/sunset, at Brooklyn Bridge Park (Pier 1 Harbor View Lawn).

For this ~4 mile ride, we'll meet up at Pier 40 at Hudson River Park, then we'll head down the Hudson River Greenway, through lower Manhattan (Warren Street, passing City Hall), across the Brooklyn Bridge, and arrive at the movie screen at BBP's Pier 1.

The event's homepage is here: Movies With A View 

Bring water, your helmet, and a bike lock. There is a free bike valet (thanks Transportation Alternatives!). You can also bring blankets, food and drink (no glass, no alcohol brought in per the FAQs) if you like, but there will be food and drink to purchase too.

**Note:** This event is open to women, female-identifying and gender nonconforming people only.

Please join us for PIZZA and ICE CREAM at the legendary L&B Spumoni Gardens! In 1938 the owner would peddle the pizza by horse and wagon! The establishment still exists today and not only is the pizza delicious, the ICE CREAM is to die for!!

Don't miss this Epic ride! We'll start out at Grand Army Plaza in Park Slope Brooklyn, head through Prospect Park, and down the Ocean Parkway protected bike lane to Ave. U at a social pace.

This 7-mile ride ends in Gravesend Brooklyn near trains and close to beaches if anyone wants to keep on and venture to Coney Island.

What to bring: Helmet, sunscreen, money for food, full water bottles (it's gonna be HOT!)

**Note:** This event is open to women, female-identifying and gender nonconforming people only
