How to Plan the Perfect Wedding Day Bike Ride (With Excellent Video)


There were massive thunderstorms on our wedding day so the ceremony was moved from the courtyard of the museum to the Sphinx gallery inside. That was better. Every hipster in Brooklyn gets married outdoors in a rustic barn wedding. Who gets married in front of a 3,000 year old Sphinx?
The rain abated to a sprinkle by the time the ceremony was over so we were able to able to hop on our bikes. The wedding party carried noisemakers, cowbells and mini tambourines.
Cars of strangers stopped on the road to take pictures and congratulate us. Joggers along the bike path all did a double take. I got a lot of ‘Holy crap, is she in a wedding dress?
It wasn’t easy to ride in my dress or my four inch Badgley Mischka heels. I had the train it up over my Spanx to keep it from getting caught in the spokes, but I hardly noticed what I was wearing once we hit the pavement. It was the best two-mile bike ride of my life.
