Advice for riding over the Williamsburg Bridge

Context: I’m a 24yo female, riding a trek hybrid bike.

I recently tried to bike over the Williamsburg bridge and had to turn around half way and I am totally beating myself up about it!

I am new to biking and my goals are personal-to establish a routine and commute to work a few days a week, and also get in better shape and prove to myself I can do it. I also just enjoy riding in a non-competitive way!

If you’re a casual rider, do you have any advice for biking over the Williamsburg bridge?

How is your experience? Do you have any advice? I would love to hear from my woman NYC bikers!

Please be kind 🫶🚴‍♀️
