anyone selling their Discover Hudson Valley Ride registration?
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

Bike Lanes and Fast Speeds
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.
Thanks to True and Angelica-- great ride!
Do you have the cue sheet? Specifically, I' m trying to find where we made the left turn on the steep hill?

58cm "beater"/commuter bicycle WANTED
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
