Bicycle Club of Philadelphia hosts its Spring Cycling Weekend on May 13-15 (Friday to Sunday), in Danville, PA.  Danville lies on the Susquehanna River, between Bloomsburg and Lewisburg.  From NYC and northern NJ, drive to Danville is straight across I-80 West.  Very pretty & scenic cycling, w/green countryside & covered bridges.  Bloomsburg & Lewisburg are quaint towns w/attractive university campuses.  All-inclusive package of hotel for two nights, rides with leaders, cue sheet & map packets, Fri & Sat dinners, Sat & Sun breakfasts, snacks & sandwiches to take with you on rides, parties, etc.  Several guests from northern NJ.  Complete details at www.phillybikeclub.org.&nbsp

Since two of the three subjects in the title are applicable here (especially in the wake of the CP ticket blitz) I figured I would post this (2 year old) video here:

Although a stop sign is not a traffic light, the basic idea of cycling safety vs current law is there.

Does anyone have a store that they like/recommend for purchasing threaded 16g CO2 cartridges online?

Anyone care to team up to buy in bulk and then split the order?

Thanks!

100% chance of rain and/or snow tomorrow? really? we'll try again next week.

Does anyone have a nice route from NYC to Princeton, NJ that avoids major roads?  I've driven there many times by automobile, but on roads that I don't care to pedal.  Thanks in advance.  Charles King. 

see you at 6:15

The current forcast is calling for light rain in the morning and falling temps.  Based on that, there will be no ride tomorrow morning.  I will check the weather in the morning to confirm.  I'll post an update here by 5:30am. 

I have a nice route planned for this Sunday, with lots of climbing in the lower Hudson Valley. Most of the route is on quiet back roads though we are on the nicer part of 9W as well.  The original plan was about 4200 feet of climbing. I have added an optional section on the return which takes us off 9W through nice residential streets in Cresskill and Englewood. 

The weather forecast looks good if somewhat cool at a high of 51F but we'll generate plenty of heat climbing. Layers are recommended.

The federal government continues to work on a new, multi-year transportation bill that will provide funding for highways, transit, and bicycling and walking. This week, the House Subcommittee on Highways & Transit held two days of hearings in which 40 experts on all aspects of transportation testified about federal priorities.
