Last Sunday, we went on an 18-mile organized bike ride from hip Williamsburg to charming Red Hook and back. But for some reason the route in between was through some of the shadiest parts of Brooklyn. I saw Bed Stuy the only way a blonde girl in a pink shimmery bike helmet should see it: with a police escort.

All 2,500 bikers lined up at the start.

Brian "Armstrong" Jordan with a camera on his handle bars and a smile on his face.
Just imagine how much honking there was when they stopped traffic on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway so a bunch of yuppie bike riders wearing goofy outfits could cycle across.
Brian had his camera on the "stop motion" setting and captured this super cool video of the ride. It's worth waiting till the end when we break off from the pack at mile 16 to eat eggs and drink mimosas.
