One of the reasons I got back into cycling was so that I could ride to/from work each day. 

However, much to my dismay this morning, I was told that I wasn't allowed to. That I would have to fill out forms with the "building & the city", in order to be allowed to. 

He let me do it "just this once", since I didn't bring a lock (nor would I have been willing to lock it on the street for a full day). 

Has anyone else run into this? 

For Sale: PowerTap SL+ (Wireless 2.4 GHz transmission with ANT+Sport) Used about 1.5 yrs old.

Hi all. I'm looking for a bike travel case, and was wondering if any of you kind souls have recommendations on what's good out there. Does anyone have any experience with the Biknd Helium, say? Would love to hear some thoughts on it, or other good alternatives. Thanks!

Anyone have a track bike (I ride a 58cm road bike... could probably fit a 57-60cm somewhat comfortably) I could borrow on June 5th to ride 100 miles on the Kissena Velodrome?  If not, I'll just do it on my road bike, but I thought it would be challenging/stupid to do it on a track bike/fixie.  I can give you a case of beer and loan you one of my bikes a collateral or something... I'm a pretty trustworthy fellow though.  Let me know!  Thanks!

Hi,

We will not be able to make the weekend in the Berkshires and have two tickets for the dinner dance we would like to sell.  Paid for thru PayPal.  Any takers??

Thanks,

Tonight's Manhattan Evening Ride is RESCHEDULED for next Wednesday, May 11.

This being Bike Month, I will celebrate it with you in my own, typically skewed way. This will be the first of my three observations of it, two of which look back which, when you get to your dotage, you tend to do.

Donald Trump—who, and you're hearing it here, is NOT going to run for president*—attached his name to an eminent multi-stage bike race that attracted some of the great Euro-pros. It lasted all of two years before it morphed into the Tour Dupont where it lasted for six more.

Let's review:

Tour de France: 1903 - present

Giro d'Italia (which starts Sunday): 1909 - present

Tour de Trump: 1989 - 1990.
