Volunteers Needed
Hello,
New to cycling; what's the best ride to start with?
Saw that C-rides are for beginners but I had heard NYCC also hosted intro rides and overview of bikes/pedals/etc so any insight would be very helpful! Thanks!

New Film: ALL FOR ONE on May 2
United by their renegade spirit and a determination to win against substantial odds, Orca-GreenEdge (now Mitchelton-Scott) riders take on the international circuit. The film offers unique insights into the first five years of their journey, bearing witness to the ethos of the team as embodied by all – from the strongest to most embattled members. Out of a culture that embraces a deeply human approach to sport, unlikely champions are born, and seemingly improbable team and personal goals are achieved. Hear Estaben Chaves, Matthew Hayman and others tell their stories.

Couple of centuries ago when slavery was abolished and bikes ruled before cars were invented. The Madison Square Garden was built for indoor track bike racing.
> The Times opined, “An athletic contest in which the participants go queer in their heads and strain their powers until their faces become hideous with the tortures that rack them is not sport, it is brutality.” In 1899, then New York governor Theodore Roosevelt banned the solo six-day, apparently agreeing with the Times and the humane societies. <

Some interesting thoughts on wheels
Ignored my brake tracks a little too long and was told to replace them immediately. Real danger riding on worn out brake tracks. Saw this article that discusses this and addresses some carbon wheel issues too.

Looking for any info on where bicycle groups/gangs usually hang out.
Hi, I'm doing research project for school, and I'm looking to interview people involved in bicycle groups hang out in the city, especially anyone involved in the ride out back in November. If anyone could help out, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.
Sports Massage
Can anyone recommend a good sports massage therapist, preferably below midtown?
Thanks.
Allied Cycle Works
Anyone know much about Allied Cycles? They have one dealer in the area (Acme in Brooklyn) and I plan to do a test ride soon. The Alfa seem to be highly rated. Do you know if they come with electronic shifters and disc brakes. Any other recommendations in the $6-7K price range? Thanks. Bharat
