I am planning to join the Berkshires weekend  -- but I do not have a car or a means to get anything upto the Berkshires if I ride up. If anyone has room in their car for a ( small) bag -I would be very grateful.

Looking for riding partners in Prospect Park

Submitted by Ada on Wed, 04/30/2025 - 2:14pm

Hello, I just moved close to Flatbush and I'm thrilled to be so close to Prospect Park. I see that we have groups that do laps in PP but they meet too early in the morning for me. I would love to bike with others later in the day, perhaps between 8 and 11am. Maybe a regular Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and/or Saturday routine? Right now, I'm a C-rider with the goal of becoming a B-rider. I'm flexible about meeting time and place, number of laps, pace, etc -- just very keen to get out there every week with other people!

GFNY Road Closure Info for Sunday May 18th

Submitted by RSchmon on Tue, 04/29/2025 - 10:43am

Following is information on how to navigate around the road closures during the Gran Fondo New York on Sunday, May 18th, 2025.  I have received this information from Uli Fluhme—co-founder and co-organizer of the event.

Hudson Terrace will be closed all day.

 Access to River Road (Henry Hudson Drive) is closed from the night before until 3pm from both entrances (Edgewater and Alpine).

Therefore, cyclists coming from NYC off the GWB bike path will be guided by police across Hudson Terrace to Bruce Reynolds Boulevard and Lemoine Avenue. From there, they can continue on 9W. Return is the same way.

 9W is closed from Alpine to Nyack from 7am to 9.30am. The detour is Closter Dock Road down to Piermont Road / 340.

Cycling in Italy?

Submitted by April on Sat, 04/26/2025 - 9:41am

I know quite a few of you had done some cycling trips in Italy. 

If I were to spend a month in Italy, where are the worthy area to consider? And the differences (if you've been over more than once)? 

I know Tuscony is high on the list. Looking at more options, as I have a month.

Police ticketing on First Avenue?

Submitted by George_S on Wed, 04/23/2025 - 5:50pm

Today, around 3pm, while headed up to Conrad's twice I saw the NYPD stopping a couple of cyclists in the bike lane on First Avenue at 36th Street..  The first was on a high-speed delivery e-bike and the second was on a regular non-powered bike. 

I don't know for certain if they issued tickets but the second time they were clearly looking at her cell phone for ID info etc.

Do you smell smoke? New Jersey wildfires.
