    New York Bike Style by Sam Polcer
    We bet you know at least one of the people and/or bikes that Sam Polcer photographed for this beautiful book! And this Sunday, 12/21 (2-4pm), you can meet Sam and get an autographed copy at Ralpha Cycle Club NYC. More info here.

    Some Nerve: Lessons Learned While Becoming Brave by Patty Chang Anker

    Mountain to Mountain by Shannon Galpin
    Shannon Galpin's journey from Colorado to Afghanistan is full of surprises - including women and girls riding bikes -- racing, even! -- in one of the most oppressive regimes in the world.

    Redbeard Ride to the Sea 8/30 - in solidarity with the Afghan Women's Cycling Team

    Ride with us on Saturday, August 30th, to show our support of the Afghan Women's Cycling Team, and to celebrate the human right to ride a bike!

    Watch the trailer for "Afghan Cycles" to hear the team's inspiring story.

    Meet at Redbeard Bikes in DUMBO, Brooklyn, at 7:30 AM to fill our tires & water bottles & get to know each other a bit. The ride gets rolling at 8 AM and returns to the shop by 11 AM.

    Why the sea? Because the sea is freedom.

    Our route will take us along the Brooklyn Navy Yard, down Vanderbilt, through Prospect Park, through the quiet streets of Victorian Ditmas Park, Midwood and south Brooklyn, until we reach the sea. Why the sea? Because the sea is freedom.

    We'll return by a slightly different way, north on Ocean Parkway.

    Riders of all levels are welcome. This is a no-drop ride; we will rest at reds. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

    Don't live in New York? Folks all over the world are organizing Global Solidarity Rides, too. Check out the list here. If there's no ride in your city -- make one!

    Liv/giant and Mountain2Mountain are sponsors of the Afghan Women's Cycling Team and their bid for the 2020 Olympics.


    Ride details can also be found on BikeNYC.org.
