I'm very sad to share that Champion Bikes on Amsterdam by 104th is shuttered. Marcos (sp?) did great work on my fleet, never complaining about old steel bikes or grit, and finding solutions where others failed. I was last there in late August for a new cog for my internal hub, which made my commuter bike smooth again. He said at the time that he was planning to take off for two weeks in late October. Not sure what happened in the interim, but the nearby bodega says there was a rent issue. I hope he is OK and that he will pop up to wrench somewhere else.

Hey, new member here :)  Anyone wanna do a bike ride starting from Central Park, across GWB and up towards 9w in NJ on Sat or Sun next weekend? Thanks!

When riding back into NYC from GW,  i find it scarey to ride thru bus terminal.  Very dark , no dedicated bike lane and traffic all over.  An accident just  waiting.   Does anyone have any info if that section will be safety enhanced. ??

Am i getting old and crotchety...or is this one of the worst ideas since allowing the chaos of Fly E-bikes?  Or the Harley Davdsons in the bike lane?   https://gothamist.com/news/im-walking-here-nyc-on-track-to-legalize-jaywalking

I have been away from the forums for a while.

I wonder can anyone apprise me of the latest advisories re connecting lower and upper stretches of 7 Lakes Drive.

Today I made the mistake of leaning my bike against a low flagstone wall and when it fell over the stone put some nasty scratches on my frame. They are mostly superficial but they are unsightly. The bike (Trek Domane) is only a couple of months old and is in otherwise perfect condition.

Does anyone have any suggestions about who in NYC can fix these scratches?

Thank you, Bill
