non-drive side crank fell off - Advice

Submitted by MBruckner on Mon, 06/20/2011 - 10:46am

Hi All,

I was riding laps in Prospect Park a few days ago when I began to notice a wobble under my left foot.  I need to replace my clips and thought that they were finally dying on me.  I figured I'd just finish up my ride and then replace the clip when I got home.  However, not half a lap later, the wobble became significantly more pronounced and soon thereafter, my left (non-drive side) crank detached from my bottom bracket.

Strange Aussie comming to twon

Hi

My name is Mitchell Bland, I live in Orange in NSW, Australia.  My wife and I are visiting family in Manhattan in early July (2 July to 16 July).  My wife is planning on lots of girl time with her sister and my brother in-law works, so I am planning to get in plenty of time on the bike.  Can anyone suggest where I could hire a semi-decent road bike for two weeks.  I will be bringing my shoes/pedals/helmet/lights, so really just need the bike.  I am 6 foot tall and ride a 58cm (23 inch) Cervello at home.  We will be staying in West 13th Street.

I hope to see some of you out on the roads!

Regards

Mitch

Los Angeles riding/bike renting

Submitted by Awilson on Sun, 06/19/2011 - 8:32pm

I am there for the next several weeks for work.  Thought I was going to be able to rent a bike somewhat equivalent to mine from a shop that was reco'd to me...isn't going to pan out.  I ride a Trek Madone 5.5 WSD...so if you know of a shop that rents out similar rides for extended times...

As well, would love anyone's thoughts on riding groups there.  Will be staying in Pacific Palisades, so looking for rides it that vicinity...Santa Monica, Brentwood, Beverly Hills...

Many Thanks,

alexa

Need Cue Sheet

Submitted by Cyclegalnycc on Sun, 06/19/2011 - 8:12pm
Last year we took a different route to Kingsland Park using the Trailway bike path. I'm riding up to Briarcliff Manor next weekend and would love it if someone has that cue sheet. I checked the ride library and the one I saw went on Route 9 for 7 miles, which is very heavily trafficked and at times no shoulder. Thanks!

Custom jerseys from V-Gear

Submitted by amn on Sun, 06/19/2011 - 7:53pm

A few people have asked about the custom jerseys made by one of the C-SIG groups this year. They were made by V-gear, which is just up the road on 9W. The price per jersey was $44 including tax and shipping. The minimum order for jerseys is 10. Best of all is the 2-3 week turnaround. A few of us just tried them out on a century, have no complaints and will be putting in another order. Here's a description about the company and a link to their website.
