Wheels hum on pavement as the Manhattan skyline slides into view: riders gather at 79 Chambers Street, helmets clicked, maps tucked away. The group pedals through the Financial District, threads through Chinatown and Little Italy, then begins the steady 15-minute climb onto the Brooklyn Bridge, where the wooden promenade narrows and the East River presses at both sides.
