Bicycle highlights from the June 21st CP Precinct Community Council meeting

Submitted by Pat Gallagher on Thu, 06/22/2017 - 7:21am

1.     Captain Peter Andrea reported on ytd stats:  117 moving summons issued to cyclists in 2017 which was down from 177 last year.  93 of those were for failure to yield to a pedestrian at crossings.  Andrea recognizes that cyclists go through red lights but emphasizes the enforcement approach is to issue summons when they see reckless or dangerous activity which threatens the safety of either or both of cyclists and pedestrians.  In other words, be mindful and respectful of pedestrians and other park visitors while doing laps.

Ride with GPS - question re pit stops and discontinuities

Submitted by HBorgeson on Wed, 06/21/2017 - 5:50pm

As a dedicated user of Ride Without GPS, I was slow to appreciate that Ride With GPS could also be very beneficial to my purposes, i.e., cue sheet generation. Having finally given it a try, following the tips in this presentation https://nycc.org/Better_Cue_Sheets plus using Robovia, this luddite is an enthusiastic convert.

The presentation hints at further advice regarding pit stops. Is that available somewhere? Another question I have is whether it's possible to not "count" part of a route, such as a ferry crossing that should be on the cue sheet but not factor into the mileage.
