Are Spain & Italy right?

Submitted by michael on Fri, 03/20/2020 - 10:39am

Spain and Italy have banned all bikes. The idea is to keep injured cyclists out of hospitals. Indeed, bike injuries in NYC have recently spiked due to more people biking in an attempt to avoid crowded public transportation. Are the Spanish and Italian authorities right or are New Yorkers right? What should we do?

 

How are you coping?

Submitted by JCarasso on Thu, 03/19/2020 - 6:30pm

Hi Everyone,

Now that I am over the shock of the cancellation of the all club sponsored activities and staying indoors and not going outside for biking or hiking, etc., I trying to deal with staying indoors 98% and still getting exercise.  I have ramped up my in-door exercise routine and running up the stairs.  I live on the 16th floor, so walking/running up the stairs is a good but short work out.  How is everyone else coping?

Any details on newly appeared Ghost Bike (5th Ave/E73St)?

Submitted by SRodetis on Wed, 03/18/2020 - 11:27am

A ghost bike popped up recently just north of the Citibike rack, affixed to street sign at west (Central Park) side of 5th Ave near E73rd Street.

Does anyone have any details of the misfortune that may have occurred here?  I checked the ghost bike map, and list, but no posting for such location

Thnx.

If you had a ride submitted for May 11th or later and you don't see it, via email ([email protected]) send me a link to the ride and I will get it back to being approved.

Thanks

Covid-19 Cancellations

Submitted by nycc-editor on Tue, 03/17/2020 - 7:50pm
It will come as no surprise, that the New York Cycle Club’s Board of Directors has decided to CANCEL all Club-sponsored activities for the next eight weeks. This cancellation includes all SIGs, STSs, Club rides, laps-in-the-park training rides, social events, and Club meetings.  We will reassess the situation as needed, and adjust our approach based on current conditions on an ongoing basis.  If things get better sooner, we can resume activities. If public health still indicates a need to continue suspension of activities, we will continue to do what's in the public interest.
 
The Berkshires weekend lies outside that eight-week time frame, but should be viewed as presumptively cancelled as well.

Bike Trainer Recommendation?

Submitted by John Dutt on Tue, 03/17/2020 - 4:06pm

Spin classes are all cancelled, so looking for advice/recommendation re a trainer to use at home when I can't ride outside. Simplicity and reliability a plus.  Thanks.

Part 1 is true. Part 2 is not.

(They're really OK. Their only infection is regret.)
