Bicykillers is a fast one.. Probably not for begginers.
Bar Chopz is a bar hop... Easy for beginners... even easier if you skip the beers.
Tuesday Night Special is sorta fast too... also includes swimming.
Sins and sprockets is not usually a noho ride but its close enough that you can easily bike or subway to it. Great for beginners cause they go real slow and keep the route pretty flat. myspace.com/sinsandsprockets
Bicychillers is a fairly new one. haven't ridden it but it sounds like a slower one.
What am I forgetting.......?

Uh, with all do respect to Steph and the Mosey, it is not considered a slow ride. Its not a fast ride, but i'd call it a nice medium paced ride. I have seen 15-17 mph on the flats regularly. I'd call SnS or similar a slower, beginner ride. I think people on Beach Cruisers would not have a good time keeping up or climbing hills on the Mosey. I really like Steph's ride, but i wouldn't want to mislead some beginner who is comfortable at say, 12 mph like some of the rides we do.

No, Matt, this is
BicyCHILLERS, not Bicykillers. It's a new ride. Sunday afternoons. Super slow. Probably will always cover only a short distance. Involves getting dinner. Chill.

Oh. No, then nevermind. I wasn't talking about your friend either though, just some other guy that walked by and tapped me on the shoulder.
