Mastering the Urban Commute
Commuting by bike in Brooklyn is one of the best ways to get around — it's faster than the subway during rush hour, it's free, and it keeps you fit. But urban cycling requires skill and preparation.
Essential Gear
- A quality helmet — non-negotiable
- Front and rear lights for night riding
- A sturdy U-lock — avoid cable locks
- A reflective vest or bright clothing
- A rack or basket for your bag
Route Planning
Use protected bike lanes whenever possible. Kent Avenue, Ocean Parkway, and the Brooklyn Greenway are your best friends. Avoid busy streets like Flatbush Avenue during rush hour.
