I have a couple of seats open, if anyone wants a ride from GB to Ski Butternut for dinner. Please reply by email (see the icon on the left).
Rerouting of the Greenway in Riverside Park
Looks like the upper path has been repaved and marked to detour bikes away from the river from 72nd north to where the new esplanade starts. It takes you up through the 79th Street traffic circle and down the other side. FWIW the entry/exit point at the south end feels like a serious accident waiting to happen as it's right at that narrow choke point where the path veers left and goes under the highway.

Invite to anyone living w/diabetes to attend World Bicycle Day event at UN on June 3 as a guest of TeamType1/Team Novo Nordisk
A friend of mine in California is an elite rider with Team Novo Nordisk/Team Type 1, and he is coming to NYC for the World Bicycle Day event at the UN on June 3. They have graciously offered to invite any NYCC members (up to 7 or so) living with diabetes to join them as their guests at this event, and as an NYCC member I offered to help make this happen.
My friend is also going to join me for a morning ride in Central Park that Monday morning, June 3, and he would love to have as many NYCC members living with diabetes to join us on this ride, and in addition we are going to invite ALL NYCC members to join together to ride on World Bicycle Day to celebrate the bicycle, exercise and the global diabetes community.

Suggestion for a good mechanic on the Upper West Side
I know this topic has been discussed in the past, but I could not find recent threads. I am looking for someone who is skilled in doing ongoing maitenance and repair on a custom road bike with mountain bike crankset and cassette. In addition, the drop bars and shifters have unusual padding that needs to be maintained. Any suggestions for the UWS, preferably, but would take other suggestions. Thanks.
hit by a green cab this morning
jotted down the license plate called 911 but because neither my bike or myself were physically injured. the police do not define this as a crime and do not take action. they suggested i report it to 311 but they said if i want to take action this way i need to participate in a hearing. no wonder hit and runs are so common. little recourse.
How to sell a used bike?
This may sound very simple to you, but I have never done it.
How do you sell your used bike? I know Marketplace on NYCC.org and of course craigslist, but a bike can cost $1000+! Should I get cash for it? How the money transaction goes between two individuals?
Thanks!
