Late addition of Berkshire ride

Submitted by April on Thu, 05/22/2025 - 12:22pm

A casual B ride to a garden at Lenox. Similar route as last year's Naumkeag ride but with a different lunch stop, at the estate of Edith Wharton, the author of "The Age of the Innocence", which has a lovely garden.

Sorry for the late notice. The weather on Sunday is finally looking more promising for a relaxing outdoor lunch stop.

Possible New Jersey Transit Strike Starting May 16th

Submitted by John Z on Wed, 05/14/2025 - 4:11pm

"As a result of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (BLET) membership voting down a tentative agreement reached between NJ TRANSIT and BLET leadership, the BLET is threatening to disrupt the lives of more than 350,000 commuters by calling for a strike as early as Friday, May 16.  This would result in the complete suspension of NJ TRANSIT rail service, including Metro-North west of Hudson service."

Safety on the Brooklyn Bridge

Submitted by rdaileymd on Wed, 04/30/2025 - 5:50pm

I ride daily on the Brooklyn bridge bike path as do many others. The curve is very dangerous as it is blind to oncoming traffic and many riders attempt to pass not realizing the danger. A special concern exists due to the high volume of inexperienced tourists on city ebikes who are going too fast for there skill level who, further, don't have helmets. It is only a matter of time until someone is killed in a head-on collision. It would be great if NYCC would advocate for signs stating "Do not pass on the curve." A special yellow line on the curve might also help. This won't stop everyone from dangerous passing, but it certainly could reduce the number of attempts and make the ride safer.
