dangerous under GW bus terminal overpass

Submitted by JuneR on Sun, 09/29/2024 - 9:55am

When riding back into NYC from GW,  i find it scarey to ride thru bus terminal.  Very dark , no dedicated bike lane and traffic all over.  An accident just  waiting.   Does anyone have any info if that section will be safety enhanced. ??

Am i getting old and crotchety...or is this one of the worst ideas since allowing the chaos of Fly E-bikes?  Or the Harley Davdsons in the bike lane?   https://gothamist.com/news/im-walking-here-nyc-on-track-to-legalize-jaywalking

Who in NYC can fix scratches on a carbon fiber frame?

Submitted by bill.somers@gma... on Sat, 09/21/2024 - 6:12pm

Today I made the mistake of leaning my bike against a low flagstone wall and when it fell over the stone put some nasty scratches on my frame. They are mostly superficial but they are unsightly. The bike (Trek Domane) is only a couple of months old and is in otherwise perfect condition.

Does anyone have any suggestions about who in NYC can fix these scratches?

Thank you, Bill 

PS: Scratch pictures attached.

A tip of the helmet to Esther

Like many cyclists I often "meet-up" at Grant's Tomb and, on many occasions, have the need/opportunity to visit the restroom up at Claremont Park.  I have always been pleased that although the fixtures are maybe a century old in there -- the "Parkies" keep the place clean and even well-stocked with TP!

Today, out of character, I "car-topped" up to GT rather than ride up, as usual, from home in Kips Bay.  I'd done a hard ride Saturday and figured to cut down the total miles for today's NYCC ride going to Haverstraw.
