stay tuned for a game on/off call, given saturday's iffy weather forecast.  i don't like riding in the rain.  and having bbq in the rain is no fun either.

if the game is on, don't forget to bring your bike lock.  madison square park will be crowded and i want to triple lock our bikes together.

Why the bike lane may not be the safest place to ride:

We regretfully inform you that we will be cancelling the Chaste Skirt ride tomorrow.  It was a tough decision, but with 50-60% chance of showers and thundershowers, and given there are significant sections of hard pack and hilly country roads, we felt it prudent to save this ride for a nicer day.  We hope you understand.  We are just as bummed out as you are... but as a wise rider said, CT will always be there.  Hopefully we can do this ride again some other time. 

We are doing our best to counter these forces......but if you are riding Newcomers, please check here at 7:00 AM, Sunday morning for any necessary, weather-related cancellation.

 

 

Thanks.

The Parks Committee of Community Board 8 isn’t interested in  sharing.

I have followed Damian's courageous battle to return his bike and  for that matter any sense of normalcy. His cause has been championed on the NYVELOCITY Blog.

Hi I just saw that TA will providing "bike valet" at a number of events, including Brooklyn Flea.

The announcement and list of events is here: http://transalt.org/resources/bikevalet

Note to all cyclists that Port Jervis is no longer a bail option or an end point.  Conductors ARE enforcing this.

"Cyclists and Segway users must board the train car at a door with an international symbol of accessibility. In almost all cases, accessible doors are those at the center of the car. Center doors do not open at stations with low-level platforms. For this reason, customers with bicycles are advised to board/alight from accessible stations only."
