BIKES ON AMTRAK - NEW YORK STATE
New York State with a Bike & By Train By Harvey Botzman NYBC announced “Amtrak’s Carry-On Bicycle Service” is now available on all Empire Service and Maple Leaf trains traversing New York State. The NYBC’s representative to the Amtrak/Adventure Cycling Association Bicycle Task Force, has worked for many years to achieve this bicycling infrastructure on Amtrak’s New York State trains. No longer is there a need to drive a car to a start location along the “lateral line” of Amtrak & the Erie Canalway/Empire State Trail when bicycle touring. Hurrah! |

"Sponeed" and "Baleaf" gear?
Hi:
I've seen cyclists on the road wearing kit with unfamiliar names like "Sponeed", "Baleaf" and a few others that slipped my mind.
A little research seems to show that these are Chinese manufacturers that primarily sell direct on Amazon. (Amazon appears to favore that sellers have trademarks, so "no name" products get names, even if they're just "ERKLEHNT.")

Plan ahead so you don't withdraw from a ride too late to make room for others
The following text has been e-mailed to all persons who get e-mail blasts to riders:
As you all know, because of the need to observe our Covid-19 guidelines, we have a strict limit on the number of riders and leaders on a group ride. At present, the limit is six riders with one leader and 8 riders with two leaders. These guidelines are constantly being reviewed to make sure we are striking a reasonable balance between safety and the benefits of riding.
This system has worked well over the last several months and will likely have to be continued into next year, perhaps even longer.
But we have run into an issue with last-minute withdrawals from rides – someone withdraws from a Saturday ride late Friday night and so on.
