About

An EPIC cycling tour of Brooklyn! There is no other way to explore more of Brooklyn in one afternoon.

This tour starts in DUMBO, under the MANHATTAN and BROOKLYN BRIDGES on beautiful waterfront with sweeping views of downtown MANHATTAN from across the East River.

We pedal on comfortable, lightweight, high quality BICYCLES; provided to you by us, BROOKLYN GIRO BIKE TOURS!

From DUMBO, we visit the historic and newly redeveloped BROOKLYN NAVY YARD, heading into the South Part of WILLIAMSBURG – a neighborhood of artists, graffiti, and some of the coolest Bars, Coffee Shops, and BREWERIES in NYC.

We head into Williamsburg to explore the redeveloped neighborhood. We ride into GREENPOINT BROOKLYN.

We head to FORT GREEN PARK, with the MARTYRED PRISONER'S MONUMENT, North of Bustling DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN- the landscape changes dramatically and one gets a view of the amazing diversity of Brooklyn! We pass by BARCLAY'S CENTER and Historically Preserved Government Buildings.

We stop for a quick bite back in DUMBO, where you may meet up with another group of cyclists and guests to continue onto the SOUTH PARTS OF BROOKLYN!

The next stop is THE GRAND ARMY PLAZA with views of THE SOLDIERS AND SAILOR'S ARCH and the BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY.

We ride through PROSPECT PARK! No other bike tour offers such a ride.

We ride into RED HOOK, a peninsula cut off from the rest of Brooklyn, for a quick snack and drink. This destinations takes a little work to reach unless your are riding with us!

Once the bustling home to the busiest port in the world, the neighborhood was later known for crime and blight. But over time the quirky area attracted artists to its sprawling brick warehouses and brownstone-lined cobblestone streets! We will stop for a snack along the waterfront. We will visit STEVE'S KEY LIME PIES and take pictures of the STATUE OF LIBERTY on VALENTINO PIER.

We will stop at WIDOW JANE DISTILLERY!

We might do a quick chocolate tasting at RAAKA VIRGIN CHOCOLATE!

Next stop? COBBLE HILL with Brownstone Lined Streets, Small Family Owned Restaurants, and charming amenities!

Next stop? Into CADMAN PLAZA and then into BROOKLYN HEIGHTS! With its tree lined blocks and diversity in architecture, this calm and serene part of the ride introduces you the very first historically preserved neighborhood in the United States.

Back through DUMBO and BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK ends one of the most complete tours of BROOKLYN that you’ll find.

And if you haven't had enough, we may join you for an after party at one of the many venues in DUMBO.
