Bike Maps for Ulster County
Hi,
I'm staying in Saugerties, NY. Is there a comprehensive list of bike routes in Ulster county? I have been relying on the same 3 bike routes but would love to expand. Also, give me a shout if anyone is in the area.

According to Bicycle Habitat, nationwide sales of bicycles used for "Transportation" are going fast and there might be a near term shortage due to supply chains and decreased in manufacturing.
If you were thinking about getting a "lock up" bike before the pandemic, inexpensive decent bikes could be in short supply soon.

Shoddy work from the House of ENY
I just found an ENY survey on the club FB page. (I suspect there would be a better return if they were sent directly to members. Or were they, in which case one simply wasn't sent to me? But that's not what's shoddy. This is:
"ENY is a celebration of the New York Cycling Club, a fundraiser for local charities."

A nice mention of cycling in the Wall Street Journal
OK, first before copying here the piece, I hasten to explain why I would even be reading the WSJ. Well, the fact is, I would read it for its editorials (know thy enemy) and for its columns (I've read many excellent ones when brought to my attention but the WSJ has a firewall to block non-subscribers and I'm not about to subscribe when that money could be used by, oh, let's just say Bernie, or Sherrod Brown, or E. Warren--who are reviled by the WSJ). That said, I do unfailingly pull it out of the trash room when I find it there, I being surrounded in my building by financial services types.
