Save the Date! The Brompton Urban Challenge takes NYC by storm on Sunday, 8/16! This scavenger hunt + photography competition is open to all bikes, as long as one person on your team has a Brompton! Registration is live.
Calling all Bromptoneers, here is your chance to take on the Brompton Urban Challenge! The Brompton Urban Challenge is an event that will test your skill, creativity and ingenuity through a variety of fun and exciting challenges throughout the streets of New York City.
The inaugural New York City Brompton Urban Challenge is set to be a whole lot of fun. We are very excited to invite you to the Brompton Cafe to share a coffee and a donut before sending you out armed with bicycles, clues, and cameras to get creative.
The two-wheeled scavenger hunt is open to all bicycles, but each team must feature at least one Brompton. There will be a limited number of Brompton bikes available to borrow for the day, so please indicate your interest at the time of registration. Also, the event will coincide with the city's Summer Streets initiative, so there's no excuse for not getting involved!

The Challenges
Joining instructions will be sent to entrants before the event.
Via Velojoy: a powerful video presented by the New York Taxi and Limousine Commission. This has been hanging out in my web browser for several weeks. I knew it would be very hard to watch, but I also knew I had to watch it, and share it with you.
The film will be included in training curricula for drivers of NYC cabs.
There are more ways to support Vision Zero. Transportation Alternatives gives you some ways to start.
This is also a good time to sign the petition for a Car-Free Prospect Park. Mayor DeBlasio: hopefully this is the last petition we have to sign on this topic.
Registration is open for the Tour de Staten Island, organized by Transportation Alternatives.
The Tour takes place on April 12, 2015.
