I have a confession: I don’t know how to ride a bike. And trying to learn on a Citi Bike in Manhattan feels less like a cute summer activity and more like a public safety hazard. So I’m starting with roller skating, because falling at a rink feels a lot safer than wiping out in the middle of a bike lane.

If you’re ready to brave the storm that is me on roller skates, enter to win tickets to see Jukebox the Ghost at The LeFrak Center. Your ticket includes roller skating, live music, and a pretty great excuse to show me up.
