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.
Meet in front of Brooklyn Bicycles (bikes are available at special daily rate) at the corner of 9th Street and 6th Avenue.
Trains: F to 7th Avenue or M/R to 4th Avenue
The Citizens of Cobble Hill
The original "Cobble Hill" was leveled by the British during the Revolution. Soon after, the surrounding Dutch farmland was discovered by developers and the present neighborhood of Cobble Hill took shape. We trace the area's roots through stories of 19th century citizens and their architectural legacy.
