A TDF Film circa 1966 about 18 minutes long.

THIS IS REALLY GREAT, in French but I think you'll get it.

Bicycle maintenance classs

Submitted by tfan on Fri, 10/07/2011 - 10:25am

Hello. I'd love to get some bike maintenance class from a bike shop or a private person. I live in Brooklyn, so I'd love to get it here. I know about Bike Habitat, but does anyone else know of a shop or person who gives lessons. Many thanks

Fixed/Singlespeed Central Park Laps

Submitted by comptechgsr on Thu, 10/06/2011 - 4:27pm

Hello All,

 

I wanted to see if there's any interest in putting together a few rides but with fixed/singlespeed bicycles in mind.  Any bikes would be welcome (as long as they adhere to safety, skill-level, pace, etc.), but I think a group for fixed gear and singlespeed could be great. 

 

I've been riding my fixed gear a lot more lately to beef up my legs and sharpen my pedal stroke, but it's weirding pacing myself with fellow roadbike riders (I go slower uphills, limited by my crankspeed downhill, etc.).

 

Anywho, post here if you're interested and maybe we can organize something.

Total 200 double century bike ride Washing DC

Submitted by tfan on Thu, 10/06/2011 - 8:49am

Hello. I am new to the club and cycling. I did the NYC Century and Escape New York last month, it was fantastic. I live in Park Slope and bike in Prospect Park all the time. I want to do a double century next year and I'm thinking of the Total 200 starting in Washington DC. Have any of you done it or going to do it? Any info on it would be great. Thanks a lot. The ride is in June next year.
