Feels like there's considerably more traffic last few weeks. Anyone have any ideas? Is there construction near-by or is this a reaction to the Tappan Zee?

What is the problem? We have members who are doing this on their own but not working with our board and not under the aegis of NYCC.

With the important issue at hand of organizing and supporting the 7 Lakes Drive connector, so important to our members and the cycling community, we are feeling our way in the dark. With a committee established we could have been one step ahead of the game in matters political, inter-bike clubs/organizations, and intra-club. Do we really need to scramble to get the NYCC board officially to recognize this effort? There should be a liasion from the committee on the board, perhaps non-voting, to keep both sides on the same page. We should be ahead of the curve on every initiative that touches on our members.

Leaders are needed for our Memorial Day Weekend in the Berkshires.

Here's last year's NYCC web page: https://nycc.org/events/berkshires2018  This contains lodging information and general information about the weekend. It has been updated--see the homepage. 

Here's a link to 2018's MB thread, which contains more information about the weekend and in particular about the trains.  https://nycc.org/message-board/berkshires-weekend-may-25-28-2018/86551

This year we have reservations on several trains to and from the Berkshires. We still need a few train leaders.

Here is the list presented at the Club meeting:

Good afternoon,

Anyone have any good recommendations for relatively affordable and (preferably) Brooklyn-based bike fitting services designed for women? I had a fitting a few years ago, but as of late have been experiencing some discomfort and believe I need another fitting. I realize this might be somewhat of a controversial topic so I apologize in advance for offending.

Sincerely, Tanya

Does anyone know the conditions on the greenways in upper manhattan?

I need to be at the Rambles Shed for the B-Sig ride on Saturday.  Trying to figure out the best way to get there.

Thanks

everyone has an opinion but figured id ask what's the latest consensus for the best local shop to build up a new bike. 

ive used the service dept at sids in the past and have been pleased but there's a bunch of new mechanics there. im bringing pretty much all of the parts. 

thanks.
