Hi !

I've found your web site on the web & all of you look very friendly and open to new comers. Great !

Your President Ellen Jaffe suggest me to use the message board. Here i am !

I'm in NYC & Stamford from the 18th to the 24th of june (2011)

I'm looking for people that may show me some good rides in & out NYC.

To correspond with the way you do, i'm looking for group A or B, from 40 to 60 miles.

I've seen Adam Ritter's Ride sunday the 19th at 10:30 AM. Is that ok ?

If you have some more details about this ride, you're welcome !

I signed up, and the friend I was planning on riding with procrastinated and now the tour is sold out. 

If you signed up and decide not to ride for some reason, let me know!  I'll take your registration off your hands.  

Thanks in advance, 

Talia

......on completing the NJ 600K held this past rainy weekend....and qualifying for Paris Brest Paris 2011.

Here's something for academic pondering or lawyerly analysis:

In clear traffic, I can ride up Third Avenue (Manhattan) at 20mph with no problem. It has no bike lane, and I have the same 30mph speed limit as motor vehicles. Similarly, if I ride up Lafayette/Fourth Avenue downtown, I can maintain high rates of speed without hazard from sudden obstructions (doors, pedestrians, etc.) as long as I hug the roadside edge of the non-separated bike lane. 

But if I'm on one of the segments of Second Avenue with a protected bike lane, there's no way I can ride faster than 15mph. It's simply not designed for protecting cyclists riding at fast speeds, and the illegal obstructions are as frequent and disruptive as Casey Neistat's video describes.

Do you have the cue sheet?  Specifically, I' m trying to find where we made the left turn on the steep hill?

For some monday reading...

Hi All,

Once again, I seem to have rode my commuter bike into the ground and so I'm in the market for a new one. Have you got a beater that you're looking to get rid of. I'm 6'2" but have legs that are short relative to my torso. I generally ride a 58 cm frame and something with a long top tube would be great.

I'd like something that I can lock on the street and walk away from without worrying about. Sturdy beats fast and cheap beats expensive, but a lightweight frame is always welcome. Let me know what you've got?

Thanks,

Matt
