Morning Laps in Central Park

Submitted by JOlson on Wed, 09/28/2011 - 10:39am

Come on, guys! This is a GREAT ride -- a great way to get the day started. Linda can't make it this Thursday but Gerry is leading. If you're celebrating Rosh Hashonah, it's a great way to begin the New Year; if you're not, it's a great ride for any day.

Best when there are eight or more riders.

Meets at the Engineer's Gate, 90th & Fifth, 5:45 am  Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Hope to see you!

Wishing everyone a Happy & Healthy New Year. Party like it's 5773

You don't have to be Jewish to be Happy or Healthy.

Riding makess me Happy, avoiding delivery bikers keeps me Healthy.yes

NY State drops Eye Test for Drivers when renewing their licenses

Submitted by Rmarcus on Wed, 09/28/2011 - 10:20am

NY drivers have another excuse as to why they are so bad.

a) No renewal test, written or pratical

b) Vision not required.

Most (all) drivers need a refresher on the law and proper skills training and come on folks I'm 53 and my eyes are going. I guess NY wants to be like Florida and have drivers who only stop driving when they die.

How to handle delivery cyclist

Submitted by jegrgic on Tue, 09/27/2011 - 2:18pm

I have been debating this for a while and the more i think about it the more proactive i want to be.

 

As most of you on hear have experienced, delivery cyclist violate two laws 1) they ride motorized bikes (aka motorcycles) 2. they ride the wrong way on streets/bike lanes.

When i see this, i want to just go over to the person and try to give them some common sense.  But typically, i just do my best to avoid them (usually by going into traffic) and swear under my breath while shaking my head.
