Staten Island rides and routes?

Submitted by NickJupiter on Mon, 10/14/2019 - 1:42pm

I am considering a move to Bay Ridge.  I am wonderinghow good the biking is in Staten Island, if there are rides or routes that are challenging and fun.  If there are, I could simply cross the Verrazano Narrows bridge, because 9W would be so far away as to be close to impossible.

Thank you for any input.

News of the passing of the mortal coil that was Henry Joseph. 

He was a long-standing NYCC member, riding with many of us through the years. 

Henry was kind and gentle, but fierce when defending social justice vis-à-vis politics. 

Fifth Ave. @ 103rd St. Until 6PM.

(It almost goes without saying I haven't seen it yet but will.)

City Council Transportation Committee Agenda, Comments Welcome

Submitted by RSchoenbohm on Fri, 10/11/2019 - 3:26pm

The City Council Committee on Transportation jointly with the Committee on Public Safety will hold a hearing on Thursday, October 24. Oddly I have been invited to testify, has anyone else? On the chance I will actually 'testify' I would appreciate any wisdom you all have to offer as written testimony can be entered. If I do opt in it is as 'private citizen' as I represent nothing but my own experience and point of view, which l would like to be as informed and considered as possible and there are members of this club with far more knowledge and expertise than I. The second item is particularly germane. Agenda to include, among other non-cycling related items:

Int 769 - In relation to warning notice for missing bicycle equipment.
