Let's meet at Larry's, the family-owned bike shop that has been serving my neighborhood since 1965. We'll go for an easy spin of 15 miles on streets with light traffic and relatively few lights. Our route will also take us through Mill Basin and Bergen Beach. This type of mid-week ride is the perfect prescription for maintaining fitness in the off-season, or to taper or recover during the busy season. If you desire convenience and steady pedaling, this is the ride for you.

After we finish our ride, those who wish to do so may dine at Cafe Hadar, a nearby kosher dairy and fish restaurant.

Larry's Cycle Shop is located at 1854 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, between Avenue K and East 38th Street, about 1/2 mile from the Flatbush Avenue/Brooklyn College station at the beginning (or end) of the 2 and 5 lines.

Cafe Hadar is located at 2923 Avenue N, near Nostand Avenue. The restaurant is about 3/4 mile from Larry's, and from there one can also ride 1 mile to the Kings Highway station on the B and Q lines.
