I salute their new editor in chief Leah Flickinger for it.  41% of 4 times a week cyclists have been hit by cars;  stats on harassment and aggresive behavior of drivers, drivers distracted by texting, 2016 cycling deaths: Boston 0, New York 18, L.A.22....FL is a "deadly state" for cyclists, etc.

Elewhere in this issue there is a interesting piece on the effectivenes of  using lights (front & rear) by cyclists.  I have started using them on some long distance  daytime solo rides and the truck and car drivers seem to be giving me more room.

The C SIG is on for today (Saturday) as scheduled.

does anyone use a combo computer and light mount on their handlebars?

Submitted by RLMeyer on Thu, 05/04/2017 - 8:15pm

I want to mount my cycle computer on my handlebar with a light underneath it.  I saw one option on Amazon for a K-Edge mount and a Light and Motion adapter and light.  Has anyone used a Light and Motion front light?  Barfly makes a cheaper plastic version fo the mount. Are there other options out there, especially for the adapter and the front light ?

The saddest story you'll ever hear about riding a stationary bike.

Is anyone riding the May 20 ride to Montauk? I was looking for someone to ride with at a B16 or 17 pace. Feel free to email if you'd like to ride together.
