Urban Athletics: Pedals & Pizza – Manhattan

Join us for an exciting cycling series where we explore New York City one neighborhood—and one slice—at a time!

Each ride will take us to different boroughs or neighborhoods, hunting for the best pizza, uncovering hidden gems, and visiting legendary slice shops. Every event promises a new route, new flavors, and a valid excuse to ride!

🚲 The Ride

• Approximately 20 miles
• About 4 pizza stops
• Relaxed, social pace with frequent breaks
• Plenty of opportunities for photos (of the city and the pizza!)

🍕 Tentative Pizzerias

• L’industrie
• Scarr's Pizza
• Mama's Too!
• Patsy's

(Route and stops may change based on group size, weather, and wait times.)

💰 Cost

Everyone covers the cost of their own slices and drinks. The aim is not to devour a whole pizza at each stop but to sample a variety—pace yourself, this is a marathon, not a mozzarella sprint!

🛠️ Bring

• A bike in good working condition
• Helmet (strongly encouraged)
• Water bottle
• Bike lock
• Cash or card for pizza
• An appetite and a sense of adventure!

👥 Who Should Join?

Anyone comfortable riding in NYC traffic at a relaxed pace. This isn't a race; nobody gets left behind unless they unexpectedly stop for a slice!

Whether you're a cyclist who loves pizza or a pizza aficionado willing to pedal for the next slice, this meetup is about good food, great company, and exploring the city from the best seat possible—a bike.

Come hungry. Ride happy!

Calories consumed while biking between pizzerias are scientifically impossible to count!
