****r Heights Christmas lights ride
Guys - looking to bike around ****r hts neighborhood to see the lights. I know there'll be traffic and crowds, has anyone done this? Any suggestions? Where to park? Good idea/bad idea?
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks
Ed

If you are taking a car you'd be better off just walking around. It isn't that large an area.

There is a great ride tat the 5 Borough Bike Club does every year on the 17th as well, if you are not a member ($25 a year, best deal in town!!) the first ride with the club is free! its a SUPER relaxed, easygoing ride.

Riding with a group is fun, but if you want to roll your own, notes from years past suggest the displays can be found in Brooklyn's ****r Heights on 81st St, 82nd St, 83rd St, and 84th St, between 10th and 14th Avenues. If I’m off by one or two blocks, the displays are hard to miss: indeed, they’re reported to be visible from low earth orbit.
