A heads up to all ride leaders that we have an overnight freeze and daily thaw cycle through this weekend.  As such you should keep clear vision and treat any wet spot as if it were black ice.

Please be careful out there.

10 am to noon.

He had a discussion on the Prospect Park West bike lane controversy yesterday.

Wish the red light issue could be resolved thos quickly

Hi -

Used Pista for sale. It's in great shape, I've had it wrapped with old tubes to protect the chrome.

Please email if interested.

I'm canceling.  I think the ground will be soggy even if the precipitation stops and the wind is expected to be over 20 MPH and it's going to be very cold.  All in all, spin class seems like a better idea to me!!!  (Plus I get an extra 30 minutes' sleep.)  I hope to see you next Tuesday.

Regards, Linda

It looks like the weather will not be in our favor for rding tomorrow morning.  I am going to call off tomorrow's ride now so we can all make other plans.  Or sleep in.  See you next week.

Dear Cyclists,

I hope I may get some help here fighting a $135.00 ticket handed out to me like candy.

My trial date approaches in April. Please respond when time allows and thank you in advance!

 

Sincerely,

Hi!

I was hit on the Bowery last night, and my bike is toast. The driver pulled a U turn onto my side of the road, crossing a double yellow line - is that illegal? I know the car hit me on my side of the road, as I had to crawl across the double yellows to get out of the traffic, and was nearly hit by another car. Also, if there were passengers in the vehicle, and they claim in the police report that I was on the wrong side of the road - do they count as witnesses? I was too banged up to chase after anyone who may have been an independent witness.

The driver then tried to stop the ambulance taking me away saying I was not injured badly enough - nice! The police did get there and a report is filed

According to the NY Post Gale Brewer is going to reintroduce her bill to close the park to traffic today.

In my opinion this is more preferable to the yellow lights bill and probably has a greater chance of passing.
