Who decided we all use widescreen displays?

Submitted by AHendin on Sun, 11/14/2010 - 9:09pm

I know lots of folks have widescreen displays, and I use one myself sometimes, but please consider accommodating those who use smaller screens! Not to knock the overall enhanced design and functionality of the new site, and it looks great on my MacBook Pro 1440 x 900 screen, but my main screens are not puny: 19", 1280 x 1024, but I use them in 1024 x 1280 portrait orientation, which means that horizontal width is 1024. Side-to-side scrolling sucks. Thank god the message board topics list and reading pages are more accommodating, but here I am trying to write my post, and I'm STUCK in a fixed-width window that is half-again wider than my screen. Lots of side-to-side scrolling, which is perhaps the worst offense of fixed-width pages.

Thanks!

Shoutout for Neile in today's NYT Spokes blog

Submitted by arobinson on Sun, 11/14/2010 - 12:25am

Neile represents recumbent riders well in this piece. Good show.

For what it's worth, I terribly miss the old site as well. It was a lifeline to some precious memories of riding with such a wonderful group. I still wear my NYCC jersey proudly here in Boston.

Best wishes all,

Sunday early afternoon ride

Submitted by EParedes on Sat, 11/13/2010 - 6:54pm

I can't ride in the am but am free as of 12:30 and would like to get a quick out & back to piermont, considering the weather is relatively nice. If you want to join, write me to [email protected] . I'm an "A rider" and my pace will be around 17-18 mph and very slow on even the slightest uphill. I can meet you at 12:30 at Grant's Tomb/122nd & RIverside Dr. Expect to be back around 3:30, 4:00 at the very latest.

Missing cue sheets from ride library

Submitted by JSinclair on Sat, 11/13/2010 - 9:15am

Many cue sheets from the old ride library seem to have disappeared - particularly those in Westchester/CT. Could they be returned to the site please? Example: Tarrytown Ride, several Kensico Dam routes, a ride from North White Plains to Brewster, North and South Country Trailways etc etc . Those ones I actually have printed and rode but would like to find the others. Although old, most of the routes still work well.
