Hi all,

I've been doing occasional rides in southeast Westchester going out towards Connecticut along the Long Island Sound. If I want to get a jump on the ride, or finish the ride without riding all the way home, I've generally been using the 6 train terminus at Pelham Bay Park for that.

I am trying to order club merchandise through Verge but it says the team store is clsoed when I enter the club code. Has anybody bought anything from the site recently? Any suggestions?

 WTF! I got 2 tickets last week on Ft Washington Ave. On Weds @ 6am. At 169th St & 170th St. 1st ticket $190. 2nd $365. Oh, $10 in processing fees. This is ludicrous.  I've pleaded Not Guilty. Am waiting to receive a court date. Suggestions? Hire a lawyer? 

I'm sorry that I'm late in posting this.  Below are the contents of the email that I received last Thursday (May 2nd) evening.

Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe streets plan a vigil on Tuesday, May 7 at noon to rally for city council passage of the Vision Zero Design Standards bill that would mandate the city includes safe streets interventions such as protected bike lanes and pedestrian isalnds when it fixes roads. A whole-city approach to safety is far better for cyclists than the street-by-street piecemeal approach used now. It is far more equitable as well as it brings every neighborhood under the safety net. Come join us and enjoy safer rides.

When: Tuesday, May 7, noon to 1 pm.

Where: City Hall,enter at Centre street and Park Row

Why: We need safe streets!

Anyone been using these tires?
