Keep  Your Bike Out of My Park

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.

Heads up on new NJT train-bike policy -- Port Jervis, Hoboken, others

Submitted by NWeissman on Fri, 06/10/2011 - 9:45am

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."

A Detroit inventor has found a way to make steel seven percent stronger than any steel on record, offering the promise of lighter, thinner car bodies and stronger armored vehicles.

Mountain Biking - Weekend Trip

Submitted by MarcH on Fri, 06/10/2011 - 9:03am

Hey all

I was wondering if I could get a recommendation on a goof location to spend a weekend camping and mountain biking. I exclusively ride road and some cross, but I was hoping to take a mini-vactaion and go upstate (or somehwere nearby with a similar bucolic setting) while doing same car camping and mountain biking. Crucially, I do not own a mountain bike, and would be looking to rent a couple for a day or two days. 

I was hoping to get a good recommendation and lead from someone on the boards.

I've put in due diligence on Google, but individaul websites are very vague and at times misleading. Additionally, it is hard to tell what quality bicycle I would be confronted with once I arrived.
