Hindy Schacter wrote a fine post appended to the cutback in Vision Zero thread and this might have been added to hers but I'm eager you see this—but do read hers.

The city will close all outdoor pools for the season, cut its Vision Zero traffic safety program even though pedestrian and cyclist fatalities were on the rise

On the lighter side of "Spacing" news.

Zwift Greater London 8 Virtual Ride Tonight at 6:00 PM

Submitted by Hudson Hartmann on Thu, 04/16/2020 - 12:15pm

I submitted one yesterday for 6:00 tonight, April 16th....has not been approved yet. I run weekly rides for the Team Red White and Blue Veterans group and am opening it up for NYCC members. It is using the stay together feature, where no one gets dropped. If you want to ride tonight, you have to first follow me on the Zwift companion app - Hudson Hartmann (Team RWB). Then I can send you an invitation for tonight's ride. We are riding London tonight.

It would be helpful if you had (NYCC) after your Zwift user name, as the stay together feature only let's me invite 50 of my closest friends, and I have to scroll through a lot of names. Or send me an e-mail at [email protected]

 

Please think of, and, although he is well, even fear for our Dr. Ed, the medical director of Woodhull Hospital.

Starting Wednesay April 15th, will are going to re-open the ride sign-up system for virtual rides (Zwift, TrainerRoad, Peloton Digital, Rouvy, etc.) and similar on your trainer rides.  We had tried this earlier in the year — before the pandemic — but had few takers.  But things are different now.
 
To list a virtual ride, just proceed as you normally would, but select "Virtual" from the Ride Type Dropdown list on the form.  This will trigger a notification to the relevant Ride Coordinator, who will confirm that the ride is in fact
