Tired of riding alone up a dark 1st Ave.
If anyone is regularly riding to CP for laps and wants to share a ride up 1st Ave. I would love some company. The recent spat of accidents has me thinking twice about the wisdom of doing this ride daily alone. I leave at 5:30 from 14th and 1st. I typically ride a B17 pace but will adjust either direction as needed.
File this under "Stolen Bike" or "Cycling is Healthy."
Fall Foliage
River Road and 9W appear to be at their peak or just passing it, and with this insane weather we've been having there is no excuse for not getting out there and riding, and enjoying the changing season!
chill out speed racer!

This is just sad. I see cyclists buzz pedestrians all the time. Even if you have the right of way, you shouldn't be anywhere near pedestrians at the speeds we travel.
Justice prevails - sometimes...
Election results
The candidates for the 2012 NYCC Board of Directors all ran unopposed, and were overwhelmingly approved by the voting membership... congrats and good luck!
The two membership fee proposals were also approved... the resolution to create a single level of membership, eliminating the "couples membership" was approved 341 to 55... the $30 membership fee was passed 311 to 85...

We should boycot Coach products
I notice that almost every posting on the message board has been hacked by Coach or someone advertising Coach outlet online store. Unless this stops immediately and whoever owns Coach apologizes to NYCC we should all boycot their stores. There are plenty of other places one can get overpriced leather products. We don't need to support someone who abuses our website.
I don't buy the argument that Coach isn't responsible for this. They have duty to take action to protect their Trademark and if they get the message the customers will avoid companies that permit this sort of intrusive advertising, they will do something. The Lanham Act was passed for a reason; Coach should use it.
