It would be great if there was a place to read what each position entails. Might mke it easier to think of who could fill a role.

If there is such a desciption already, my apologies. But I sure can't find anything on this site.

 

 

 

 

NYPD Bike jacket needed!

Submitted by LPress on Mon, 09/18/2017 - 9:12am

Hi I'm working on Law and Order SVU- have a last minute need to find a NYPD Bike Patrol jacket that I need to get today. No luck at any of the police supply stores. Anyone have a lead on where to buy?

Please message me if you have a lead.

 

Thank you!

Never received one, or a link to download the routes either.

Suggestions as to where I can get a crank re-tapped?

Submitted by velofellow on Wed, 09/13/2017 - 4:38pm

I've got an old Stronglight crank with French pedal threads.  I'd like to have them re-tapped to English threading.  Conrad's wants $50 for the job.  Anyone else have this done?  If so, where and how much were you charged?  Thanks.

GWB and Google Maps

Submitted by mrunalsabnis on Wed, 09/13/2017 - 2:21pm

Is it just me or did Google Maps stop routing pedestrians and cyclists over the George Washington Bridge's pedestrian/bike path? For example, if I ask it for directions from Columbia Presbyterian Hospital to Strictly Bicycles, it insists on making me ride all the way to Midtown West, take a ferry to the NJ side and ride all the way back up for a total of 16 miles instead of the more direct route across the bridge for a total of 3 miles.

Breathtakingly ignorant and hate-filled comments about and against cyclists:

The vocabulary used by a number of our detractors comes right out of Fox and the White House.  Not the sentiment, but the vocabulary. Comments by our own Brian Van N are some of the upsettingly few that speak for us.

The comments are in response to this article that should also piss you off: https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20170912/greenpoint/cyclist-vision-zero-fatality-traffic-nypd-94th-precinct

 

 

Cant find much info on the bridge opening, but I rode across it this morning. 

Here is an article from 2015 announcing the bridge:
