Tour de Central Park

Richard took the day off work today, and we decided to rent bikes and take a quick jaunt around Central Park--something we had been planning to do for two months but had never gotten around to it. We rented cruisers (complete with wide-set handlebars and brake-by-pushing-back features). It was a great (and quick) way to see all the little-known sights of Central Park. Did you know that Central Park houses a ginormous swimming pool, about 30 tennis courts in a row, baseball fields and several nice restaurants? Apparently, in our minds, it was just... a park. To walk through and buy overpriced water and ice-cream. Sorry we underestimated you, NYCP.

This is a video I took while on my bike. Forgive us for not wearing helmets, Mom.

Why is Richie riding ahead of you and not beside you?!
