Governor's Island Bike Ride

NOTE: Most of our rides you can pay for on site; this one is an exception. You must buy your tickets via Brown Paper Tickets in advance. Please keep in mind there are no refunds excepting for dangerous weather. As long as there spots available you can wait until an hour before the ride to buy tickets.

Join us for a 2 hour guided bike ride through the car-free wonderland of Governors Island with Albert and James.

Despite years of history for most New Yorkers Governors Island might as have popped out of the ocean when it became open to the general public in 2003. We'll talk about cross dressing Governors, the Wright Brothers, Revolutionary War submarines, the first gay rights organization in America, hammocks and more. In addition we will get some AMAZING views of lower Manhattan, Statue of Liberty and the New York harbor. We will also pay our respects to a ventilation shaft.

During the weekends there are ferries going to Governors Island from both Brooklyn and Manhattan. You can also use the East River Ferry to get there as well.

Exact meeting location will be given with purchase of ticket.
