Bike ride to the Polar Bear swim!
Thursday, January 1 @ 9:00 am
We’re riding bikes from Bay Ridge to Coney Island for the annual New Year’s swim.
Join us for a casual ride from Bay Ridge to the Coney Island Boardwalk to participate in the annual Polar Bear swim.
Did Santa Claus bring you a new bike? Are you resolving to ride your bike more in the New Year? Do you want to wash away the disappointments of 2025? Are you looking for a cure for your hangover?
Whatever the reason, join us for a New Year’s Day bike ride from Cannonball ( a.k.a. John Paul Jones) Park to Coney Island for the traditional Polar Bear Swim.
Registion for the swim is separate from the bike ride – register for the swim here.
The swim is free, the Coney Island Polar Bear Club uses the event to raise money for several non-profits in the neighborhood. Please consider making a donation here.
