15 year old interested in riding - where to send him???

Submitted by RSchoenbohm on Wed, 04/27/2011 - 5:34pm

Nice kid, good runner, very interested in getting into riding. Son of a couple I know, neither of whom ride. I don't really know the family well enough to be involved and he'd not be into riding with an old guy like me anyway. Are there any good programs for young riders around? Any clubs that deal with the 15/16 year old set? It would be great to get him off to a good start.

32,000 tickets for going thru a red light

Submitted by BMirell on Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:54pm

Bike New York is this Sunday starting in Battery Park. 32,000 riders will head uptown and go thru Central Park.

Let's see...umm...32,000 x $270 each = $8,640,000.

Sounds like enough money to retrofit the traffic lights to blink yellow.

Considering buying a road bike

Submitted by jazzuela on Wed, 04/27/2011 - 8:00am
I'm considering buying a road bike for weekend rides since i'm running into the limits of my collapsable Dahon. I can hopefully scrounge up 1K and am looking for input on what to buy. It seems a little decadent to become a two bike household...so if I do, i want to do it right. What do people suggest? I don't want something so fussy that it can't handle a rough road, but won't be trail riding either. Thanks in advance for advice.
