Building Bike Storage

Submitted by ty111 on Thu, 09/27/2018 - 9:20am

Does anyone have a bike room in their building? Do you use it? If not, why not. What would make it appealing/useful?

Trying to make some decisions for my coop.

Thanks for any input.

Cuomo (aka Tappan Zee) Bridge Bike Lane UPDATE

Submitted by CWaaser on Wed, 09/26/2018 - 4:26pm

Things are moving quickly toward our being able to cycle across the Mario Cuomo Bridge:

"Tappan Zee Constructors (TZC) is scheduled to shift four lanes of Rockland-bound traffic to the opposite side of the concrete median on the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge's westbound span on Friday night, Sept. 28, weather permitting. This temporary traffic configuration allows crews to construct the bridge's bicycle and pedestrian path and its six overlooks."

Here's a link to an animated video of what the new path will look like: https://www.newnybridge.com/path-forward-watch-new-animation-of-bicycle-pedestrian-path/

 

LATER EDIT: Disregard: I've found a volunteer.

Cue Sheet Legend | Key

Submitted by YK on Wed, 09/26/2018 - 12:56pm

Is there a key for all the acronyms on a cue sheet on the club’s webpage?  I looked under “Info”, “Guides and Tips” and could not find it.  Would be great to have a key that is easily located without digging into other docs.  I’m currently looking at a cue sheet that has acronyms like - “RRL”, TRL, LL.  I know the basics, but some of these i just have no idea.  I do have a Garmin, but it would be great to know the cue sheet codes as well.  I carry a cue sheet every time in case my Garmin battery dies, which is not an unfounded concern.  I’ve heard plenty of others who are as perplexed as I am on some of these codes, so i think it may will serve a wider audience as well.   

He grew up in a bike shop and led teenagers on Europe bike tours. A grad of Penn Dent, my time in his dental chair was taken up with bike stories. I had to wait for him to remove the dental apparatus from my mouth so I could answer his questions about my bike touring exploits.

His favorite Sunday ride was from his NJ home to a coffee stop in the Nyack eatery and I frequently ran into him there.  I assume (but am not absolutely positive) that he fell while descending fast into a pothole in the Old Tappan/River Vale area and suffured a severe spinal injury.  He left two teenage daughters and a wife.

L'etape du Tour 2019, anyone?

Submitted by Jay_Etape on Tue, 09/25/2018 - 12:06am

Hi, all. This is Jay here, just joined the club today, with $1! Hooray. 

Absolute beginner, no prior experience at all. I recently heard of L'etape du Tour, and thought it was a great challenge. Anyone in our club who is up for this? Wanted to get into group for training, and if possible, going to France together. Any suggestion for a beginner, equipment, training or riding tips? 

Thank ya all!
