I'm not in Brooklyn any longer but lived in Greenpoint from 2018 to 2020. I always saw lots of Rivs in Greenpoint and Williamsburg. There's a guy with an orange QB that lives on Eagle, Don't recall his name. But we talked a few times riding down Franklin. I lived Huron and it was always funny that there were two orange QBs with honjo fenders just a couple blocks from each other. There's also a late middle aged fellow that had a AHH that frequeuented Ovenly that I ran across occasionally, I believe he had other Rivs too. I say I'd see at least one Riv a week on Kent/Franklin/West or going over the Pulaski. Sorry I can't point you towards any specific people, but Williamsburg and Greenpoint are pretty Riv thick.
718 Cycles in Park Slope used to stock Rivs but not sure they do any more. Joe is pretty friendly you might stop in and if hes not busy chat him up and see if he can point you towards anyone. --ben in KC, Kansas City, formerly Kings County On Sun, Jan 23, 2022 at 10:28 AM Patch T <ptrof...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm in, and know a few folks not on this list who would love to ride too. > > Kai, both routes sound fun. > > Anyone riding during winter?
