R&R bike tours

Bruce and Linda came into the city with their Swedish cousins to do a NYC bike tour. We biked over to Times Square and then down Broadway. The tour included refreshments… tacos and agues frescos at Tacombi at Fonda Nolita..

Quick stop in Washington Square Park. These girls weren’t used to city biking, but they handled the NYC streets like champs.

Our very own biker gang, heading uptown on First Ave.

A couple days later we gave a three bridge/three borough bike tour to our new friend Jaco from South Africa.

The guys were inexhaustible. After we got back to Manhattan I let them race around Central Park before doing a pizza taste test.

When I heard that my friend Heidi was back in Manhattan after five weeks touring Europe, I sped down to Madison Square Park to meet her. Baby #2 is looking good!
