Bicycle Film Festival: Street Party

Saturday was full of riding around NYC. After riding to a friend's art exhibit in Bushwick, we rode over the Williamsburg Bridge and into the East Village for the Bicycle Film Festival's block party. It was full of vendors, food, BMX tricks, some great short films, and of course, bikes.

The day was exhausting and fulfilling and hot and delicious. Perfect summer.

I'm going to get mine tuned up soon so I can start zooming to noodle shops at dusk with friends. So excited.
