Hi there,

I'm headed down to Austin for SXSW next week and was hoping to get in some riding while I'm there. Are any fellow club members attending? Or has anyone ridden there and have advice on routes? The Trek rentals from Mellow Johnny's and some of the local club rides look good.

Thanks,

Ariel

At this link, you can check out the official NYCC online petition to stop the ticketing blitz of cyclists in Central Park. Now all of our members and friends of cycling can easily add their voice to this fight.

But the online petition is just one part of a multi-platform strategy to help the Mayor, The DoT, and the NYPD understand that our numbers are large, our voice powerful and our commitment steadfast to preserving and protecting our right to ride recreationally in Central Park and end the tickets.

I attended the EMS Flat Clinic 101 this past Saturday. It was an hour well spent.
What was disappointing was that the clinic (for NYCC only) was registered full at 6 people but
only two of us showed up.The other four had not canceled.

Be respectful of fellow riders that would like the opportunity on upcoming weekends.
Send a quick email and cancel if you are registered and can not make it. It does not take that much effort.

I'd like to attend the Bike Maintenance Clinic 101 this weekend, but they are all registered full.
Wonder how many no shows NYCC will have????

Hi all, many posts about getting political, and what can we do as a club to develop and project political presence. Here's an opportunity coming up: the annual ghost bike ride to commemorate cyclists and pedestrians killed by cars is on March 13th.

http://ghostbikes.org/node/754

I've done this in past years, and it's sad, but extremely worthwhile, and it would be great to get club folks, preferably in full spandex and club gear, there to remind the DOT, and everyone, really, that it's not bikes (rare, unfortunate exceptions notwithstanding) that kill people, it's cars.

FS Complete Bike: 57cm Time 2006 VXR with full Campy Record 10spd + Campagnolo Neutron wheels.

This is a top-of-the line Time VXR full-carbon bike with a full Campagnolo Record 10-speed group. Time bikes are heavily ridden in the pro peloton and one of the few carbon fiber manufacturers that build their own frames (in France) instead of outsourcing to Taiwan. The build and ride quality are truly exceptional. It's a competent high-end race bike and will serve you well - a rull-Record Time for the cost of a Cannondale.

Both unexpected in time and place.

Today, February 27th, on the western (Hudson River) side just before the hairpin at the top of the ascent from the GW Bridge on the Hudson River Bike Path, in Manhattan. After this turn, going up, it levels off and you soon come to the 181st Street Henry Hudson Parkway overpass.

Snowdrops in bloom.

I'm guessing that final wall is 18 to 22%. But don't quote me. Need I say that I didn't notice them going up!
