At Christy's behest I have been attending the bi-monthly CP Precinct Community Council meetings.

Takeaways from the meeting last night - 

1. Captain Andrea continues to emphasize his primary goal is that all users need to share the park. He won't (and can't) give the OK to go through red lights, but his main concern is that we, all cyclists that is, watch out for the safety of pedestrians and not blow by them in crosswalks.

2. Good Morning America's Friday morning concerts start on May 19th so watch out on the lower loop approaching 72nd on the east side early Friday mornings. 

Hi All!

We'll meet at Washington Square Arch and will end at an undisclosed location:).  This will be an amazing time and tour of lower Manhattan, so if you're up for testing your skills and knowledge come out!

Tickets are $25 and available below and include food, drink, discounts from our sponsors, great prizes and bragging rights:)

From today's NY Times:

"Next year, the city expects to collect $631 million in parking fines, up 15 percent from 2014; the haul from fines is three times as much as what the city gets from legal parking at meters."

Can anyone recommend a good bike shop to rent from in Venice? I will need a good bike for some serious climbs and distance.

Thanks

Hi y'all,

I want to get my bike fitted and I need a trainer to look at my riding style and positions.

If you a are in Park Slope Brooklyn, would you be willing to lend your trainer for a couple of days for this process?

Thanks a bunch,

Dotan

Sonsofbitch drivers proliferate and expand their game internationally...and I do mean pro, as in former Tour champion: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/froome-hit-by-car-on-training-ride/

We could gather a Connelly's next Tuesday May 16 before the Bsig event. Maybe ride together?

I see the Bear Mountain classic is on Saturday and a co-worker mentioned there's a North Face challenge this weekend @ Bear. Does that mean both are closed to cyclists?

My regular ophthalmologist said my case is "more challenging" than the typical (very near sighted)

I'm not liking that kind of statement. Would like to get a second opinion.

One of those issues for older people. As cyclist, decent vision is quite valuable.

Perhaps someone have had good experience with a surgeon that you can share?
