Recommendations for a Bike Fitting?

Submitted by tcadoo on Fri, 03/10/2017 - 4:37pm

I've recently started riding a new bike and have been trying to put in some time trying to get the proper fit - though at the same time I am curious about doing a professional bike fit as I plan to put a lot of miles in this year.

Any recommendations? I did not purchase the bike from a local shop else I would do that. It seems most shops offer this service to some degree, and there are also specalists like acmebicycleco.com

Hello,
After much deliberation, we have to decided to postpone our Classification Ride to Saturday, March 18 due to the frigid conditions predicted for the upcoming weekend. We will meet at the same location at the same time as previously indicated next Saturday. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact us at [email protected].

GW Bridge Alert

Submitted by CWaaser on Thu, 03/09/2017 - 5:28pm

On the New Jersey side of the GWB bike path, the sidewalk now has jersey barriers running down the middle, making the usable path very narrow - probably too narrow for cyclists going opposite directions to pass each other safely. There's room on the outside of the barriers for westbound cyclists to proceed safely (slowly), but only a narrow opening to get back through to the gate and out onto Hudson Terrace. Don't know if they will still be there over the weekend, but exercise caution.

There are many different ways to come to an end on a bicycle, this has to be one of the least expected ways to go.

Submitted by Rodney Boyd on Tue, 03/07/2017 - 11:00pm

Your CSIG qualifactions ride begins on 3/11/17. However the weather for NY is taking a turn for the worst. 

Saturday's temps will drop into the very low 20's with winds at 23mph these temps are very dangerous for riding a bike.

Please keep me posted. Thanks Rodney B.
