Does anyone have Cablevision and get News 12 Brooklyn (or Long Island)? They interviewed me at the Park Slope Community Board meeting tonight, but I don't have Cablevision and don't get that channel. Would be interested in knowing if it airs and how it came out.

Thanks,
Carol Waaser

The weather is not cooperating but that's ok. The sunnier and warmer it gets, the more riders we'll sign up. Thanks to those who have gotten out already, including Ron and Dana, and those who have dropped petitions at their LBS. Adrienne's petition ride in the park on Monday is on the rides listing page.

If you haven't signed the NYCC CP petition, shame on you!

Greetings fellow bikers ~ i recently joined NYCC and participated in the classification ride last Saturday (what gorgeous weather we had!). i rented a hybrid bike which was not a positive experience as it was not fit exactly to my size and was heavier than a road bike. are there any ladies out there who have a loaner bike they'd be willing to let me use esp during the first month so i don't have to keep renting nor RUSH into buying a bike? i'd love to get the feel of a loaner bike and would consider purchasing later down the line if it was well adored and gently used and suited to my mesurements. 

Please let me know if you do. I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. here are my measurements:

Too late to get into the eweekly, but I am leading a C 13 ride this Sunday to meet up with Maggie's birthday ride to Tenafly train station. Leaving 9:30 from Eleanor Roosevelt, 72nd and RSD. It's a recovery ride, in my case from the Winter. And don't forget to Spring forward.

Opinions, anyone?

How long is it exacly, and when will be last ride of it?

To everyone who led 12+ rides in 2010, please check the sizing chart in the eweekly or on the homepage, and send me your jersey size asap. Orders go in next week.

Rosenthal led us to this article days ago. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/08/nyregion/08bike.html?hp

The Schumers (our Senior Democratic US Senator and his wife, our former DoT commish) Are spearheading a lawsuit to tear up the Prospect Park bike lane--to preserve free street parking on their block???!!!

Well, let's spearhead an email campaign that tells Chuck if he betrays his party's green platform, betrays the city's chance at a safer, more democratic, and greener form of transportation, betrays the cyclists who vote for him, JUST TO PRESERVE FREE STREET PARKING ON HIS POSH BLOCK IN BROOKLYN, then we will work against his reelection, his protege Anthony Wiener's run for Mayor, and anything else they touch.

We are looking for a ride leader to take about 5 people (all NYCC members) on a 30 mile or so ride anywhere other than CP. We were hoping to go this Sunday (3/13) around noon. Of course, we would love to have other riders join too.
