Is the hudson river bike path open? last night it was close right befor water treatment plant about 138th street. And this morning it was close also.

Vintage Fugi Sagres, cir. 1983. $300. This is the classic Fugi Sagres, mixte frame bike -- world-wide, one of the most successful and popular production-line bicycles. MADE IN JAPAN (before Fugi contracted out production to Korea, Taiwan and China) during the golden age of Japanese manufacturing that brought us the Sony Walkman and Honda Civic. This bike is in remarkably very good, collectable, condition. The frame is made of Fugi VALite (chrome-vandium) 414 butted tubing -- exceptionally strong and light-weight, even by today's standards. Suntour AR derailers and stem shifters, double chain-ring crank set, 6-speed rear cassette. I repacked the wheel bearings and installed new Kenda tires and tubes. Took it out for a test ride and ended up cruising around Brooklyn for 2 hours.

To everyone who has signed up for our ride-  we will most likely be riding on Saturday, despite the predicted temp of 97.  However, we will post cancellation on the MB at 7:00 a.m. if we do decide to cancel.  Given the weather, we will be making more frequent stops than usual, to get ice and cold drinks.  Please bring two water bottles, and use a camelback with ice, if you have one.  There is also a possibility of taking the subway home from the Bronx after lunch, to cut off the Gun Hill heat and traffic.  TBD.

Also, I had forgotten to post:  the lunch place only takes cash, no credit cards.  The fried fish is fabulous, and we will eat in the shade at picnic tables overlooking the water.

Hi all,

I'm looking for a friendly road biking club in the general area of Great Barrington.  I googled and found racing clubs, but I'm looking for something a bit slower and more social.

Any leads will be appreciated!

Hi all, Ride is off, go bowling or see a movie instead!

John

Name: B-express train to Piermont

Level: B-ride

Distance: 30 Miles

Start Time: 1:00 PM

Start Place: George Washington Bridge, NJ side bike path entrance

Does anyone know if bikes are allowed (either explicitly or because nobody cares) on northbound Metro North trains during morning peak hours?

I think the trains will be fairly empty leaving Grand Central at 8 am on a weekday, but since this is "peak" time, no bikes are allowed.

Anyone have any experience with the issue?

I was planning on using Dr. Su from the Hospital for Special Surgery, but neither Dr. Su or the hospital are "in network" under my insurance, and Dr. Marwin and NYU are "in network". So now I'm trying to decide whether it's worth the cost to use Dr. Su, who seems to be the Dr. that everyone I know is using, or whether Dr. Marwin would be just as good. With the savings I could buy myself a very nice new bike to celebrate my new hip.
