Board Nominations
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!
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!
Lauren
Thank you Linda Wintner and all the ENY volunteers,
All the turns were well marked, the pit stops manned by enthusiastic volunteers, no shortage of anything, excellent ride! Thanks again to Linda and the army of volunteers!
When does ENY Informational Email Go Out?
Never received one, or a link to download the routes either.
Suggestions as to where I can get a crank re-tapped?
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
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:
https://neighborhoodsquare.com/n/item/4DO7
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
New Pedestrian / Cycling Bridge connecting Riverside Drive @ 151st St. to Hudson River / West Side bike path opened
Cant find much info on the bridge opening, but I rode across it this morning.
Here is an article from 2015 announcing the bridge:
