Hey guys,
More info here: http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBCProduct.jsp?arc=2003&spid=20909
Send me your email for pics. This bike is almost new. There’s very little wear on the frame or parts. The previous owner only rode it a couple times before donating it. (You’ll believe it when you see it!). I’m posting this bike on here because we don’t get many walk-in customers looking for high-end bikes like this.
Yoga/Pilates for Cyclists
Any yoga newbies in town and open to downdogging on Jan 3, 10 and 17, 2010?
NYCC has asked me to put together an intro Yoga for Cyclists class - like the one I taught on PACTOUR Desert Camp this year - for the yoga-curious, yoga-phobic et al.
Is this you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYDis3MrfmQ
I've been chatting with expert pilates teacher and NYCC member Karin and we thought it would be intriguing to do a back-to-back 90 min sampler - yoga and pilates for cyclists together - perhaps as a three-part series in Jan.
Hats in the winter
Are we allowed to wear hats - like ski hats - on the winter rides? Or do we have to freeze in helmets? Can I wear a woolen helmet - I saw these in Chari & Co and they looked pretty cool.
PS I fractured my skull skiing at Hunter Mountain and got over it. Make it work, people. I thought it was an allergy problem, but it was actually cerebral fluid coming out of my nose. Claritin had little effect. Should have spotted the cuts and brusing all over my face.
The best things about winter cycling
1. Move to a mountain bike with studded tires
2. No rain
3. Riding skills constantly challenged daily by Mother Nature
Shameless Self-Promotion For A Club Member's Radio Appearance
Who hasn't dreamed of playing in a band at some point in their life? I know I have but thankfully Cliff Andropov & The Red Squares died a quick and painless death.
Tomorrow night (Monday, December 6th) one of your fellow NYCC members and esteemed A-SIG leaders, Ed Oliver, will be my guest on The Rodent Hour.
Ed is a guitarist for the band The Professionals and I'm going to be talking with Ed about his musical influences, their upcoming gig at Hank's Saloon on Friday (12/10) and maybe a little bit about cycling.
You can tune into the show by pointing your web browser to Pratt Radio (http://www.pratt.edu/radio) between 6:00PM - 7:00PM for "A Conversation with An Artist".
If you like you can e-mail the show with questions ([email protected]) or call us directly 718-636-3436.
Indoor trainer
Need some input; Fluid? Magnetic?
I would primarily use it during the winter months when it's impossible for me to ride during the week. Noise level is a concern, as is durability. Ideally, I would use it two to three times a week, from one to three hours a session.
Car plows into group of cyclists in Italy, 8 dead
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40516070/ns/world_news-europe/
ROME — A speeding car plowed head-on into a group of cyclists in southern Italy on Sunday morning, killing eight of them, officials said. The driver had been smoking marijuana, police said.
Bent, mangled bikes were strewn about the scene, and the sheet-draped corpses dotted the two-lane road near Lamezia Terme, in the Calabrian "toe" of boot-shaped Italy where the accident occurred.
In addition to the eight cyclists killed, four people were injured, said Gianluca Gioia, a spokesman for ANAS, the agency that runs Italy's state roads and highways. Police confirmed the toll.
