Winter Biking Tucson or Scottsdale?

Submitted by MBloomstein on Thu, 01/18/2018 - 2:40pm

Tom and I want to go somewhere warm to bike and we are thinking about either Tucson or Scottsdale, Arizona. We want to rent bikes, be somewhere beautiful and have the mountains close by (an "easy" vacation). We are open to a bike camp. Any recommendations / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Wednesday night/Thursday morning Icing in CP

Just rode across the 72nd St. transverse at 10PM. The south loop is dry. Moisture on road surface where there are less auto traffic is freezing up. The pavement has not been salted. I'm guessing the conditions north of 72nd is the same or worst. I didn't see any runners out either.

Can anyone suggest a sturdy bike travel case, accepted by airlines, for transporting my bike?

Calling All Techies: NYCC App?

Submitted by ninagski on Mon, 01/15/2018 - 12:16pm

Has the NYCC considered developing an app? I usually only search for upcoming rides on my phone, and when I have scheduling changes I also unlist/relist on my phone. It’s quite cumbersome to always have to login and scroll and zoom on an iPhone. I’m not a developer, but maybe there could be some sort of app building volunteer team? Would make the message board more user friendly as well. Just food for thought...

Parking Options near GWB for early weekday AM riding

Submitted by agrisafi on Sat, 01/13/2018 - 12:46pm

As some of you already know, I've just moved out to N Jersey. I know some fellow riders who live almost as far out as I do now that participate in the AM River Rd rides during the summer.   When the weather improves, I'd like to drive to the GWB, maybe do River Rd in the morning then head down to work on my bike, or just have the option to ride back and forth to work from the NJ side of the GWB.  Anyone with suggestions on best places for parking in the area please let me know.  Unfortunately, the ride from my house to the GWB is too far for a training ride. 

A New Kind of Bicycle Helmet!

Submitted by JOlson on Fri, 01/12/2018 - 8:49pm

A small, entrepreneurial start-up company which happens to have office space in the same WeWork office that I use is developing a new kind of bicycle helmet which will, if successful, exceed current safety standards while having the appearance (more or less) of a baseball cap, and which will roll up to a size that fits into the drink holder on any bike.
