    THE CARIBBEAN RIDE A Bike Tour Supporting Caribbean Small Businesses
    One of the most vibrant cultures in New York City has deep roots in Brooklyn, and we're going to experience it the best way we know how: on two wheels, with good people, and the kind of food that makes you stop mid-bite and close your eyes.
    We're rolling from Columbus Circle through Manhattan and into the heart of Brooklyn's most authentically Caribbean neighborhoods, making stops at some of the best local eateries along the route. Think jerk chicken and oxtail slow-cooked to perfection, crispy doubles stuffed with curried channa, patties fresh out of the oven, and cold glasses of sorrel, mauby, and sea moss to keep you going between miles. This is 22 miles of culture, flavor, and community, and every stop is worth the pedal.
    Caribbean food is more than a meal. It's a gathering, a tradition, and a story passed down through generations. On this ride, we're supporting the small business owners keeping those stories alive in Brooklyn, one plate at a time.
    Come hungry. Come ready to move. Come with good vibes.
