A sweet shoutout to all of you who joined us for our Hot Chocolate Rides with El Barrio Bikes! Over four weekends, we learned a lot about winter riding, plus visited ten of our favorite coffeeshops across Uptown and the South Bronx.


Want tips on where to sip? Here’s our small business ride list:

East Harlem: Don Alejo Coffee, Super Nice Bakery, UGCeats (new location!).

Central / West Harlem: Harlem Cafe, Manhattanville Coffee, The Oma Shop.

Washington Heights: Duaa’s Cafe, The Plug.

South Bronx:Chocobar Cortés, 787 Coffee (has a new Harlem location, too!).
