Bike Brooklyn Baseball

Whether you live in Brooklyn or not, most baseball fans know about the great Brooklyn Dodger teams of the 1950s. You've probably heard about Jackie Robinson and the color barrier, the magic of Ebbets Field, or the meteoric rise of Brooklyn's own Sandy Koufax. This bike tour takes you from the roots of Civil War era "base ball" to the exit of the Dodgers in 1957... all while rolling along one of the finest circuits of urban bike paths in the country. The tour is 10-miles long, includes some uphill biking, and takes 3 hours.

The Citizens of Cobble Hill

The original "Cobble Hill" was leveled by the British during the Revolution.

We trace the area's roots through stories of 19th century citizens and their architectural legacy.
