An article in the Times describes the results of budget cuts to the county parks department.

“Our entire park budget is down 5.5 percent, and unfortunately we had to make cuts,” said Peter Tartaglia, deputy commissioner of the parks department. Other parks-related programs that the budget would end are ethnic festivals at Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla and “Bicycle Sundays” on the Bronx River Parkway.         

I am looking at buying the Missus a new Bike for Christmas. Specifically I am looking at the Specialized Ruby Elite Compact. Her experience is all with a triple and she believes she has to have one. I think a compact will do fine but as neither of us really know what we're talking about I am seeking help from the gearing experts. Specifically is a compact geared as deep as a triple for all intents and purposes.

Cheers.

Vincent.

I saw this on another forum was hoping someone from the club may have some info... Reposting from brooklynian.com

My husband was cycling in Prospect Park yesterday, 12/1, at approx. 4:30pm when an agressive grey van hit/swerved/ran off the road/ran into him. His injuries are quite serious. I understand that 5 police vehicles, fire dept and EMA arrived on the scene. I am trying to gather information from witnesses to the incident. If you have any information, please contact me at [email protected]. I am still working on police/accident reports but sometimes that takes time and need to line up the information. Thanks in advance.

Excellent video
