Yesterday I took a citibike from 24 and 7 and walked the bike on sidewalk to begin riding at 25 and 7th. It was crowded and the bike annoyed people. Someone told me I could get a ticket, I don't think that's true...

Jeopardy fans will know what I'm talking about.

One of the very few questions he got wrong during his reign was a TDF question/answer. "What is the TDF..."

Go Alex.

What did Rudy Giuliani reply when asked about a recent poltical unfolding situation? Something to the effect that is already happened, but people didn't know it yet. 

That's what I say about electric bikes. Just the fact that currently there aren't a lot of them out there does not mean they haven't already irreversibly changed our culture.

Kudos and personal thanks to all who made Saturday’s Newcomers’ / New Members’ Ride such a success! I’m guessing we had a record number of new, newish, and about-to-be members, and, of course, we all always welcome the chance to catch up with old friends, especially across the A/B/C lines that often seem to divide us. I dare say a good time was had by all.

June 15 is our day to clean up a one-mile stretch of 9W, starting at The Market and north to Sparkill. We need 20-25 folks to pick up a trash bag or two at The Market, a map showing a 1/10th mile segment assigned to two people and willingness to work for about 30 minutes and then relax over lunch and a beer or whatever.

Everyone who participates gets a ticket worth $10 discount on your lunch.

I posted the cleanup as a ride just so it's listed on the ride listing page. You can show up alone or, organize a ride that gets to the Market about noon, do the cleanup, enjoy  lunch and then ride home.

Those who had ridden with my a few times know I was born and raised in China. But when I used to live in China, though I biked everywhere like all Chinese. It was out of necessity, I never bike for recreation within China.

Last fall, I got to do a couple days of proper cycle touring in China with a childhood friend who still lives in China and is part of a cycling group ( the group has a fancy name called “dream team”, as in Living the Dream)

I'll let the picture tell the story.
