I have to share this and I don't think my non-biking friends would get it :-)

Hey all,

I'm headed to Denver for the weekend and hope to get in some riding. I am NOT bringing my bike. Anyone who can recommend a bike shop that rents would be great. That much, though, I can figure out on my own. Anyone who can recommend routes would be my hero.

Any distance is fine, but 80-100 miles is my goal distance.

Good morning,

Since last Tuesday the workers at the Boathouse in Central Park have been on strike and there are crowds of protesters in that immediate area:

This has been causing a lot of congestion and bottlenecks at that location.  Because of the uncertainty of this being resolved by this weekend, (and not knowing how early they may gather), I would like to propose moving the start location for Sunday's All Class ride up to Engineer's Gate at 90th St.

How does this sound?  Feedback appreciated.

Effort to Remove Prospect Park West Bike Lane Rejected (NYTimes, Aug. 16, 2011)

A judge on Tuesday dismissed an effort by Brooklyn residents to remove a hotly contested bicycle lane installed by the city on Prospect Park West, in one of the most closely watched controversies over a signature policy of the Bloomberg administration.

The decision represented a significant victory for the city and its transportation commissioner, Janette Sadik-Khan, whose campaign to create streets more oriented to pedestrians and bicyclists has divided New Yorkers and prompted a fierce political debate.

...but since it's "undersubscribed" (i.e., no one has signed up) I'm not waiting for last-minute attendees. I'm not even waiting for 6:30.

I might not even do River Road.

But you don't care, you didn't sign up. That's okay, I'll just sit here alone in the dark. (You never call, you never write...why can't you be more like your brother the doctor?!?!)

hello,

last night i signed up and paid the $22 online through paypal to be part of nycc.org. 

i am having trouble logging into the site to find out about upcoming rides. there's no e-mail to acknowledge my membership.  Will someone advise me how to do this?  there aren't any contact phone numbers, and the links to those who have positions in the organization do not work from my apple computer (an ibook g4, i don't use apple/mac e-mail but rather yahoo/gmail).

thank you for your help in advance,

mike l.

Low mileage (about 500). True. I won't refuse a reasonable offer.
