Pride month news:
OutCyling, a New York city LGBTQ sports community group programmed a dynamite long distance spin hosted by the Whitney Museum and Edward Hopper House that I think will not only sell out fast it will inspire similar routes for many bicycle groups to Hopper’s places.
On what would have been Edward Hopper’s birthday July 22, 2023 at 7:30AM, serious cyclists who signed up for OutCylists Hopper themed event will trace a journey between NYC and Nyack, the two hometowns he held most dear, along the Hudson past surroundings that inspired recurrent motifs and back again, a 60-mile round trip sojourn.
Hopper wasn’t commuting to work and his boyhood home by bike, but he was a cyclist in his youth. On the Nyack stop, the Edward Hopper house is bringing out his 1897 bike!
There’s a history of cycling between Boston and Gloucester, Massachusetts. Imagine round-trip Hopper rides between the MFA and Cape Ann Museum, or Harvard and Cape Ann Museum, or a shorter one from the Addison to Cape Ann Museum. There could be a lengthier one with the Currier or Portland Museum, and multi day itineraries Bowdoin and beyond.
