Unserious Bakery Bike Tour, Queens - Recap
Sunday, April 21, 2024 - Recap
Social ride
37 miles
Sunday, April 21, 2024
Hey friends,
Happy spring! It's getting warmer out and so I'm organizing a spring ride through diverse variety of Queens bakeries. I did one of these in Seattle once and loved it. It's great for a group because you can split treats at every stop without overindulging but still getting to try everything. I really love all the immigrant pockets in NY and picked novel bakeries, so the selection is a little more adventurous than your standard croissants or cupcakes.
We'll ride as a group. This is intended to be a chill ride. I sort of doubt you'll break a sweat but there are a couple of tiny hills along the way. It would also be hard for me not to bike through Fort Totten being so close, so that's thrown in there just for fun.
Money:
Plan to have actual cash on you! You know how small businesses are about credit cards.
