Welcome to Bike New York!
Long Island Harbors Ride 2009
Huntington Harbor
The 2009 Long Island Harbors Ride was blessed with warm, sunny weather despite taking place in what was almost the coldest, wettest June ever. A new 27-mile route and added water views made it easy to appreciate harbors, necks, and seaport towns on Long Island's famed North Shore. Ride pictures are posted in our photo gallery, and you can also share yours via the ride's Flickr group.

Riding in the Rain
Are you a fair-weather cyclist who's been rained out a lot lately? Rather than staying pent up any longer, try preparing for--and riding in--the rain! You'll fare best if you use fenders, pump up your tires to full pressure, feather your brakes, and pack you gear in a waterproof bag. Check out our advice (see August 2008) on this and other riding topics for safe and enjoyable riding.
