Club historians of a revisionist stripe, having in mind certain board sniping during the club election, will marvel in wonder at Hal Eskenazi's writing me to ask me yesterday to repair the NYCC-donor "signage" (or signs) on the bike racks at the PIPC office at the end of River Road. You, too, will marvel since all the major networks have done stories on my never riding past early October and never, ever other than on Saturdays.

Nevertheless, being delighted, if surprised, that Hal would call on me and being dutiful and eager to mend electioneering schisms and heal wounds, I did that very thing today.

game on. it looks like the weather will hold off (for now).

peter will be wearing an nycc jersey/jacket. i will be wearing jeans and a white sweater with an orange stripe. if it's cold, i will wear a gray zip up hoodie. i'll probably also have a white hat with a green print. i'm also in non-rented skates.

during the zamboni intermission, let's hang out in the locker room.

see everyone real soon :-)

i will make the final call by 5pm. i hope that gives people enough time to pack up their skates and come to bryant park or pack up their laptops and go home.

thanks.

FSA recalling BB30 cranksets, crash hazard

"Pump up tires to the pressure specified on the sidewall."

Sorry, but this is very bad advice. The pressure specified on the sidewall is arbitrary and isn't the ideal pressure for any given person. I always run my tires below the recommended pressure, with no risk of pinch-flats.

Please change it to "make sure your tires are properly inflated," or something to that effect.

I was just trying to search for the listing of the ride that I co-led yesterday, but it's nowhere to be found. I can find details of future rides under the "Current Rides" listing, but where have all the past rides gone?

I went to "Submit a Ride" and found this: "To see details of rides already submitted for this month, please click here (the wrods "click here" being almost invisible against the dark blue background). But the link just brought me back to the same page I was on.

I'm moving to Finland, Where I WILL ALWAYS BE THE FASTEST

Monday's edition A21

The Safety section of the Website says the laws will be posted. I have not found them . Have they not yet been posted?

I'll be in Statue of Liberty-wearing-helmet jersey.

19-20 on flats; 4-6 on hills. Oh, scoff if you will; but can you keep a bike upright at 4MPH?

Isn't it self-defeating to restrict the ride listings to members? I'll be that alot of members joined up after coming on a few rides and deciding the club was worth joining. I think that was the case with me.
