Expert wheeltruing in the East 60s while you wait.

The catch: You must make a contribution of any amount--I won't know what it is; you're on your honor to do it--to Kids Ride Club, a creation of NYCC's Dr. Ed Fishkin, in cooperation with Woodhull Hospital and Recycle-A-Bicycle. KRC takes inner-city children on rides to places of cultural and historical significance (or just neat places), opening them to experiences and teaching them good nutrition, good study habits, good conduct...oh, and good bike riding.

Another requirement: Clean the gunk, grit, and grime off your wheels before bringing them to me.

Hi everyone, 

I’ve got a very rudimentary bontrager300 that does the speed/cadence/distance job (when the magnets don’t shift themselves out of alignment, which seems to be happening more frequently.)

looking to upgrade to something with some gps on it... but still staying cost-mindful. What do y’all like? (Or is anyone else looking to upgrade from theirs that is  with gps who wants to sell their old one to me??)

When will be able to convert our accumulated points for volunteering into NYCC Swag?

At least one member of NYCC has a Rainbow Jersey signifying winning a World Cycling Championship.

Can you name that person or persons??

CRCA is having its first race clinic of the year in Central Park on Saturday, April 6th. The clinic format is a simulated race in Central Park where experienced racers ride with new racers, providing mentorship. CRCA coaches also answer questions before and after the clinics!

The Bloomin Metric is a perennial favorite that occurs annually (forgive the flower jokes) in Connecticut. This year’s event will be held Sunday, June 9th.
