Last week, I was in NY for work. I rented a super fancy bike from Rapha in for a few days and rode early mornings before going to the office.

On Friday, my co-worker and friend Filipe and I did a longer ride together, through Manhattan, Harlem, and Brooklyn. We mostly rode on bike lanes and paths, but sometimes rode with the cars. Riding in the city is so exhilarating.

The last time Filipe and I rode together was Lake Como in Italy on another work trip. Both were epic, but there’s something special about riding in New York. We rode along the West Side, through Central Park and Times Square, over three bridges including the Brooklyn Bridge, and a nice chill route through Brooklyn. It was a beautiful day and I’d love to do a longer ride next time. And perhaps stop and take some photos with the camera.
