Red Lantern Bikes has been the meeting spot every Thursday morning at 7:30am for a Brooklyn biketrain.

A biketrain is a group of bikers who together ride a prearranged route to reach a destination. In this case, a group of Brooklynite bikers head to work in Manhattan together on Thursday mornings, but not before coffee and introductions at the biketrain meeting spot,Red Lantern before they set out.

Riding together helps newer riders feel more comfortable on city streets and generally develops a sense of community between the new and experienced riders.

Here’s more on the story from DNA Info.

If you’ve been longing to ride into work but wishing you could make the generally solo activity a little less solo, stop in at Red Lantern on Thursday mornings for the biketrain.

Red Lantern is located at 345 Myrtle Avenue between Adelphi and Carlton. They can be reached at (347) 889-5338.
