Oh, no!  On my ride this past Sunday we were stopped in Piermont and one of our group was given a summons for riding “two abreast”.  I was at the front and didn’t see the infraction, or how serious the infraction was, or even if there was an infraction.  After talking with the guy who got the summons, I’m inclined to think there was no infraction and he was just avoiding some bad road near the edge.  Bah, humbug.  Anyways, he was cool as can be, didn’t say a word, took the ticket.  He looked at me and said, “Arguing with a Cop is no win”.   Teach me how you do that.  Big compliments for his composure. 

Does anybody have any knowledge of the status of the paving of the trail.  The last I heard they were actually supposed to start in August.

Hi:

There's a group on Facebook "New York Cycle Club Members Group" https://www.facebook.com/groups/NYcycleclub/. It's a "closed" group. I'm a member and do see familiar names there. Is this legitimately NYCC's? If yes, who manages the membership and/or moderates the posts and comments?

Thanks.

Hello. My name is Sheena Iyengar. www.sheenaiyengar.com

I am blind, and I am looking to hire someone to ride with me during either early morning, before 7am, or in the evening after 6pm. I own a tandem bike, which you can view in the FaceBook link below. I live on Riverside Drive in Upper West Side, and I am very close to the river. Pay is negotiable. Please email me if interested. [email protected]

If you are one of the many members that start or end your ride in Port Jervis, NY. I wanted to let you know of a new LBS opening.

As of 12 Noon on Saturday, Aug 10th there will be a new bike store in Port Jervis.  Action Bike and Outdoor will be opening at 27th Front Street.  Front Street, is on the other side of the the MacArthur Circle. (See image here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhGO38HxSou3m-dcIAYuSHVZ1AiOnw?e=DojLTu)

This is their second location.  The first location is across the river in Milford, PA.

Action Bike is a Trek, Cannondale, Kona dealer.

Today's Pizza & Ice Cream Ride will be tomorrow instead.

for Saturday, August 3rd has been canceled due to weather and lack of partipication.

Thanks

Here's a great discussion on how to change your SIDI heel pad if the screw is so worn that you can't unscrew it.

http://www.bicycles.net.au/forums/viewtopic.php?t=70328

Basically, just use All The Tools to destroy what's left of the heel pad, which gives access to the screw so you can get at it with pliers.

Next time, I won't let the heel pad get so worn down.

Are there any plans to meet at Summer Streets or ride as a group? Tomorrow if the rain forecast is wrong, I’m thinking of bringing my bike in via ferry from Queens to 34th Street. I’m a pre-C newbie. Thanks.
