See all- 5BBT Pre-Ride Pizza PartyBrompton Junction New York, New York, NY
Calling all 5 Boro Bike Tour riders - we're throwing a Pizza Party to meet, greet, and eat with our fellow Brompton riders before the big day!
Note: the only requirement for attending the pizza party is that you are registered for the 5 Boro Bike Tour, you will be riding a Brompton, and you RSVP to this event. If that's you, you should party with us!
Due to fire code, we have limited space in the store, so may not be able to accomodate anyone who hasn't RSVP'd here.
If this is your first time riding the 5 Boro, or riding with Brompton NYC, you may be wondering:
- How will I find the group at the mass start?
- Will they like me? (hint: yes!)
- What should I wear?
- How much food or beverages should I bring?
- Will there be regroup points along the way?
- What other fun rides are planned this year?
This is a great chance to ask questions and learn from fellow riders!
What to expect at the Pizza Party:
- 6:00 Arrive, fold up, and say hello! We don't have space for full size bikes but folded Bromptons can be parked inside.
- 6:30 Overview of the route & rest stops, and other tips/tricks + Q&A
- 7:00 Hot, delicious 🍕 pies leave Bleecker St Pizza, right around the corner, arriving in seconds and ready to eat. Yum! While you eat, ask your new friends about their past 5 Boro experiences.
- 8:30 We'll pack up to go home to rest up for the early start!
There will be limited space to park your Brompton inside. We can't guarantee space for full size bikes in the store, so please bring a lock.
- Brompton Meeting Point for the Five Boro Bike TourBroadway & Chambers St, New York, NY 10007, New York, NE
The 5 Boro Bike Tour is almost here and our team, 'Brompton Mafia', has 78 riders joining the 30,000+ attendees from around the world! Rumor has it we're the largest team at the the event. How about that? 🤠
Note that the 5 Boro Bike Tour is a BikeNYC event and not hosted by Brompton. You must have a paid registration with BikeNYC to ride this event, which is a meetup for Brompton riders and friends of Brompton riders joining the larger event.
Find the route at this link and note our updated regroup points:
- Pre-Start Group Up at corner of Chambers St & Broadway near City Hall. Theres a nearby Starbucks if you're craving caffeine. At [time tbd] we'll roll into the corrals to join our start wave, which is [info coming soon].
- Regroup #1: Top of Central Park, just before exiting the park
- Buy Lunch Here: Skip the crowds at Astoria Park (the official lunch stop) and grab a sandwich at Parkside Market before heading to our Lunch. There's an ice cream spot right next door. Then proceed to...
- Regroup #2 / Lunch / Bathrooms: Queensbridge Park, which is on the ride route, just before you cross under the 59th St Bridge, on the right. At the end closer to the bridge there's a nice public restroom with a water fountain and open space to picnic. We'll stop as a Brompton group for lunch here. Enjoy lunch in this chill setting.
- Regroup #3 / Ice Cream: After passing through Dumbo, you'll be routed to the Brooklyn waterfront. We'll meet at Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge. There are some STUNNING views to be had here, and great ice cream.
- Finish Festival: The finish festival has a number of food vendors and entertainment acts. We are not organizing any official activity as part of the finish festival this year.
- NYC Ferry to Manhattan: Rather than take the Staten Island Ferry, we highly recommend downloading the NYC Ferry app and paying the small fare to fold up your bike and take this small ferry to Manhattan. It's like the express line for folding bikes as all other cyclists wait - sometimes for an hour - to get on the Staten Island ferry!
If you or a friend would like to borrow a Brompton a limited number are available from Brompton Junction New York. Please contact the store directly to check availability and reserve.

- Weekly Prospect Park Wednesday Morning RideGrand Army Plaza, Brooklyn, NY
Every Wednesday!
Anyone looking for inspiration and community for your morning ride? Let's ride the Prospect Park Loop with a pack of Bromptons.
We'll ride two times around Prospect Park. Afterwards, we'll have lattes, croissants and conversation at a bakery cafe 4 blocks from the park (or zoom off to work if your time is limited).
This is intended as a short and sweet ride before your morning commute and people typically depart the cafe around 9-9:30am.
You can view the route on Ride with GPS
We stick to our departure time: 7:35am
As a morning ride, we need to ensure a consistent start time so people can plan around it for their work day. Thus, we'll unfold and ride at 7:35am. If you are running late, please post in the comments and we'll meet you for the second loop.Happy Riding!
