Wow. Not only was today the 26th Mermaid Parade down at Coney, but Governors Island
became Punk Island for the day. My shins took a beating at punkfest, but the camera
survived. Slide shows and more pictures to follow soon. I heart NYC.

 

 

Riis Park

NYC Bike month continues in Brooklyn this Saturday, May 17th, with the Coney Island to Riis Park Ride,
and the 5th Annual Sustainable Brooklyn Bike Tour.

Pictures of the push-bike journey on Sunday. Note to self: Invest in a more comfy bike seat.
