new member seeks weekday ride partners and bike advice

Submitted by BREZNICK on Wed, 03/30/2011 - 10:53am

 Hi,

 

My name is Bruce Reznick and I'm a new member who is seeking like minded folks for cycling in NYC or around here during the week, this spring.

I'm 58... working my way back into shape, and about to buy a new bike that offers stability and the ability to roll well but absorb city punishment.

I'm more than open to any solid advice on the bike (I've been shopping and my goal is to spend beeen 600-800 bucks tops)

 

Also, I'm really interested in connecting with some nice folks who have time during the week to ride

 

Thank you...

 

My email on outlook is [email protected]

 

'Hope to see you on the road.

 

Now hear this: Mayor gets behind bike lanes in a big way.

Were any of you invited to this fund-raising party? No? Reading the names of the rich and the famous, it seems to have been something other than a summoning of the masses.

Morning report from B16 Central Park laps group - police car lineup

Submitted by LWintner on Tue, 03/29/2011 - 5:43pm

Our little group of hardy souls was out at 6:15 this morning (Tuesday) in the cold and it was sad. There were very few other cyclists out. I don't know whether it was the cold or the police that kept them away, but I missed them.

Chasing Legends DVD

Submitted by HDershowitz on Tue, 03/29/2011 - 5:41pm

I thought I was next on the list to receive the DVD.  Haven't heard anything for months.

Basil, any idea who has it?

I already have accomodations elsewhere, but there are surely people already staying here or thinking of staying here on memorial day weekend.  No fine print about using this on holidays, except that it exprires June1st.    Maybe you know someone staying here and can pass this on.  Some creative individual or pair can sure make this work for them for the fun nycc berkshire weekend.   Note, groupon deal only available today, 3/29, so act quickly.

Last night's fantastic benefit

Submitted by MSchwarz on Tue, 03/29/2011 - 2:40pm

Thank you, Ellen, for such an elegant and worthwile event. And thank you, Ed, for creating such a great club for kids. It was obvious from what they said that the club is so important to them and they are learning so much about their town and cycling and sport and comraderie. The hotel was beautiful and it's wonderful to get together and see everyone, all for such a terrific cause.

Recommendation for GPS please

Submitted by KJacobson on Tue, 03/29/2011 - 2:31pm

It's time to buy a GPS to keep me on the right track. I don't need the latest model just something easy to read and upload. I would appreciate some advice.

Recommendations for bike work stand

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 03/29/2011 - 2:01pm

Looking to buy a work stand.  

Not having used any work stands I would welcome any recommendations and experiences with them  that you could give me.

Also since most of my bikes are carbon is it best to use a clamp system or one that adheres to the bottom bracket and locks either the front or rear fork of the bike.
