Bicycle powered generators for OWS

I am looking for trainers in need of a purpose....

OWS had their generators taken away a few days ago. A group I work with as a side project, http://www.pedalpowernyc.org/, is trying to assist them so we went down there to evaluate their energy demands and see the pedal powered generators they were setting up.

If anyone has rollers, magnetic resistance trainers, wind trainers that they don't use or maybe you need an excuse to replace yours.... contact me. Perhaps once we get them set up, I'll lead a ride down there and we can spend a few hours spinning on the generators to charge their batteries on a cold day. A good group of riders can put out some nice useful wattage, be outdoors and...

Occupy Wall Street Ride

Hello fellow members. I have been volunteering at the Liberty Plaza for a couple of weeks now. The Occupy Wall Street movement is already spreaded to over 100 U.S. cities. I think I would be great if we do a Occupy Wall Street ride to support them. My idea is doing a few laps around Central Park at an easy pace. We can all have OWS stickers on our jerseys and do this ride without causing inconvenience for anyone. Since I don't have experience as a group leader, I would like someone to step up as a leader. What do you think? Ashley

I am planning on riding three easy laps A-19ish starting at 5:45 AM from Engineer's Gate. Will swing by TOG at 6 AM to meet up with whoever wants to join there.

Send me an e-mail if you are interested or just show up but I won't wait for long at either site.

Street conditions in Englewood NJ - Oct 30

Personally, I would not go riding through Englewood today ....

Last night I went outside ... walked up Palisade Ave, maybe one block, and it was scarey.
The trees around here are all hanging over into street due to ice/snow.
Here are some photos:

It never snowed in Piermont

except in the interior & hills. My theory is that the river at this time of year is above freezing and this limited the precip to rain.. I expect all the roads here will be dry by noon. At this time I cannot tell about the roads between NYC & here.
