About this event


No Plans New Year’s Day? Let’s ring in the New Year—join us on the first ride of 2025, a true 5BBC tradition, as we ride the greenways, passing by the Verrazano Bridge down to Coney Island to swim with the Polar Bears. Lunch will be on Emmons Ave for pizza, Jimmy’s sandwiches, or a bagel stop. There are many choices.


Bathing suits and birthday suits welcome. If you’re swimming with the Polar Bears—BRRRRRR—please let leaders know.
