Pizza Bike Ride This Sunday to Di Fara, L&B Spumoni Gardens

Posted by Adam Kuban, November 18, 2009 at 10:00 AM

Making its way around Twitter today attached to the hashtag #bikenyc is word that there's going to be a pizza bike ride in Brooklyn this Sunday, November 22, weather permitting.

Meet at Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza at 11 a.m. From there, the ride will hit Di Fara and then L&B Spumoni Garden.

I'm thinking of joining this ride, but if a lot of people join in (and, hey, the more, the merrier), I'm just wondering how things will work at Di Fara. A large group of cyclists descending on Di Fara would be a recipe for waiting forever for pizza. Still, seems like fun.

Why is it that some joker in a yellow jersey is always out in front of the pack?

Be sure to wear long pants.

Yellow shirt=my HIGH-VISIBILITY cycling shirt.

Shorts=this photo was taken in August 2007.

Checkered Vans=this photo was taken in August 2007. (I used to get a new pair for Christmas from my sister each year, but I decided I aged out of the look in December 2008.)

Like you said, this could be trouble at Di Fara. L&B, on the other hand, is pretty much made for this type of thing. Of course, Sunday is my day of football so I'm pretty sure I won't be there....

Safe to say that after seeing that photo, I am still probably the sexiest pizza reviewer out there!

I'd like to be a part of this. Hope the group moves relatively slowly so this old man doesn't have a massive coronary. I'll watch the comments here to see if it gets too crowded.

@pizzaexpert: Sorry, dude. That title goes to my Lillian.

Adam - you look so eye-talian in that pic!

Sorry we won't be able to do this ride, but maybe in the Spring?

And while we're on the subject of pizza in Brooklyn, has there been any word on Totonno's reopening? Although I'd be reticent to ride a bike into Coney Island.

Weather forecast looks great for Sunday.
Is the ride still on?
How many can we expect?
As a recreational rider, I'd like to keep a comfortable pace, not a racing pace. What do you estimate the entire on-bike time to be?

@famdoc: I'm not the organizer of this ride. It's something I saw on Twitter and then highlighted here on Slice. Not sure how many people are going on it. I think this is sort of a self-organizing, spontaneous, organic happening. I also don't know what the pace will be.

That said, I do know I won't be able to make it. I have a boatload of work to finish tomorrow, have to visit a friend in the hospital, and have developed a "saddle sore" that I have to let rest. :(
