Empower communities through safe cycling and urban exploration.

Pineapple Ride is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting safe cycling through urban exploration, and community connection in New York City. We create welcoming opportunities for riders of all levels by providing free safety equipment, offering education on safe riding practices, and organizing rides and public events that celebrate the city’s neighborhoods, history, and culture. Beyond cycling, Pineapple Ride is committed to activating and stewarding local greenspace. In southern Brooklyn, we are working to transform a neglected dead end street into a welcoming public space that provides amenities, programming, and a safe gathering place for the community. Through clean ups, partnerships, and regular programming, we are helping turn an underused area into a vibrant space that serves everyone from youth to seniors.

Since its first ride in September 2014, Pineapple Ride’s annual ride has grown into a celebration of discovery and connection. Spanning more than 70 miles across New York City, the ride highlights hidden gems and historic sites throughout the five boroughs. Designed with frequent stops and a focus on safety, the experience emphasizes exploration rather than competition. All funds raised support our mission to expand cycling access, strengthen community connections, and help create safer, more welcoming public spaces.
