I write this here instead of posting this as a reply-comment after that sticky post because, if you're like me, you don't pay much attention to stickies. I want to call attention to it. It's terrifically well written. And important.

Only so long as I'm writing this will I add this incident on my ride today—a disturbing statement where we are in our culture today. As I approached 96th and RSD, a black couple was standing no more than a foot off the curb, in the street. I was going to stop there  to wait for a riding bud. As I rode through the green light, seemingly aimed for them, they pulled back. As they did, I called out, "You're not in my way."

Statement of the New York Cycle Club

 
Along with most Americans, New York Cycle Club members have been shocked and dismayed by the recent and not-so-recent events encompassed by the phrase “Black Lives Matter”. The spotlight shone on structural racism and systemic inequality in America compels all organizations, even cycling clubs, to look at what we do and what we can do better.
 
To be sure, NYCC has long had an anti-discrimination policy.

Bike Travel Case?

Submitted by PStorey on Wed, 06/17/2020 - 4:24pm

Maybe I'm dreaming, but did we not have a bike case that belonged to the club for the use of members? Does anyone know where it is or who has it? I am asking at this time when no one is traveling because a member has kindly offered the club a case for member use, and I want to know if we already have one.

NEEDED: Borrow/Rent Bicycle Rack

Submitted by etnugent on Wed, 06/17/2020 - 1:43pm

My GF and I are heading upstate for a few days next week (Wed - Sun).

We'd like to take our bikes with us, so we're looking to borrow/rent a trunk mounted rack from someone.

Any info or leads are appreciated.

Thanks! -- Ted

Hostile woman?

Submitted by EODonnell on Tue, 06/16/2020 - 1:24pm

As we road through Piermont on Sunday, maybe about 9:30ish, there was a group of 4 - 5 cyclists stopped talking to a woman in a driveway, in front of a parked car.  She was screaming and cursing at them, and then grabbed a bike and pushed it a couple of times very aggressively into the cyclist, as he stood there. Does anyone have any insight into what was happening?  At least from my perspective, absent further info, she was essentially assaulting the cyclist with his bike.

Thanking our Volunteers with Free NYCC Gear - Claim Your Gear By 7/7

Submitted by leorar on Mon, 06/15/2020 - 11:51am
Leading a ride or joining the Escape New York Committee or rising to the rank of SIG or STS Captain all may be their own reward, but we still want to thank our 2019 volunteers with some free club gear.
 
If you led rides in 2019 or volunteered with NYCC or ENY in another way, please check your eligibility for free gear here. You’ll have to fill out the order form letting us know what gear you’d like by July 7th, 2020.
 
We don’t know yet, but we suspect manufacturing and international shipment will be slower than usual. Once the gear is ready, it may not be feasible to distribute it via local bike shops as we’ve done in the past.
