I have a client with 3 kids who are loving their bikes on the Island (Long, that is) for the summer and are hoping to continue when they come back to the city. They are 10, 7 & 5. Does anyone have words of wisdom about kids and cycling in Manhattan. They are UES located and the Park is convenient for them.

Please email me off-board @ [email protected].

Hi,

Is anyone interested in scouting the route for the Gran Fondo NJ in Morristown. 

The route is: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/509536

Seems like a good route to me.  I can drive 2 or 3 other people out there.

Big thank you to Bob Cowin for the wonderful photos from the evening.

This may be old news to some, but I just came across this for the first time on NYCC's eweekly:

"Transportation Alternatives is Raising $$$ to Repave Alpine Hill on River Road!

Right now, Transportation Alternatives is raising $75,000 towards the cost of repaving Alpine Hill on River Road - an improvement that will last 15 years.

This is on the ride board, but wanted to spread the word here as well...Join us in the morning on Tuesdays/Thursdays for 4 fast laps in Central Park.  Smooth rotating paceline, with a target time per lap of 16:15-16:30.

I've just posted some photographs of yesterday's Gala rides on my Facebook account. To see the album, click here. They are from Sakura, and a bit at Nyack, Piermont, and on the road.  Please take a look, tag your friends, and let me know if you have any problems seeing them. Thanks to everyone involved for making it a wonderful and special day - and evening! JK

Has anyone done a group cycling trip in Italy or France, recently.  I’ve seen a couple of older posts, but they are a few years old.  Any info, suggestions, recommendations, etc. would be appreciated.

Thanks, Vero

How grateful I am to be part of this club and thankful to have met such wonderful people !   Looking forward to the 100th gala !
