I'm shopping around for bike insurance - full coverage needed for my ride - "just in case."

Can anyone suggest a plan / provider?

Thanks!

^^^This.

Read it. Please.

If I were the sort of person who prayed I would be down on my knees palms a-facing and praying -- hard -- that everyone in the NYCC would not only read this article, but take it to heart and strive to incorporate it into their cycling.

But I'm not, so... I guess I can still hope.

Thank you Peter Wilborn for being able to succinctly articulate what I believe a cooperative group ride should be about.

Hey Everyone,

Two weeks ago, I got a ticket for running a red light (on my bike) on River Road. The cop told the group I was with that we only had to pay $50, and wouldn't get any points on our license. He suggested pleading guilty and sending in $25, and said that the worst that could happen was that we would receive a bill for the balance. I followed his advice, and today received a bill for $245. I've been looking around at different accounts online, and can't find a straight answer - how much is the fine? What can I do now? Was the officer wrong?

Thanks for any advice... I'm leaving the country in about a week and so can't schedule a court date. This is a real bummer.

Anybody up for starting the weekend off early? Meet at the NJ side of GWB to roll out at 7:15. A21 pace up 9W  and back with a very short coffee stop at Bunbury. Email reply's appreciated.

Tragedy strikes again ... Douglas Daniele, former Bike New York Masi and NJ resident, was killed on Wednesday as he was enjoying his Harley in Suffern. Douglas has been a bike icon. He will be sadly missed.

A ride is being put together - possibly this Sunday, Sept 4. Either Jennifer Benepe or I will post the info here.

Mass and funeral services are not available at this time.

Feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] for more info.

I don't know what the duration of the closings will be but if you are planning to cycle there in the near future you might check PIPC at Bear Mtn.
