Saturday ride to Bethpage changed to Hartsdale

Submitted by NWeissman on Fri, 02/05/2016 - 3:20pm
There’s 6-8” snow in Bethpage, so the bike path is definitely out and Long Island main roads could be sloppy as well.  Whereas Westchester DOT says the roads have been plowed.  So I’m changing tomorrow's destination to Hartsdale and moving the Saturday start back to 10AM.

Road conditions Bronxville/Scarsdale please

Does anyone know what the road conditions are in Bronsville/Yonkers/Scarsdale after today's snow storm? 

Look what this congressman is wearing in his left lapel.

No surprise there; he used to be a bike mechanic.

BIKE THEFT

Submitted by MLevin on Thu, 02/04/2016 - 3:25pm

All, can you please get the word out about two bicycles that were stolen from our basement in Harlem on 147th Street between St. Nicholas and Convent. This happened yesterday (2/3) between 11:44am-1:19pm.  I cannot attach pictures here, but there are on the NYCC FB page. Please get the word out and I have a detective at the 30th precinct work on this. Please share everywhere you can.

Stolen Bike Alert

All,

My Electra Amsterdamn bike was stolen from 44th St in Hell's Kitchen. Please keep an eye out for it. Picture below is from

when it was new, 4+ years ago. The seat is different now, black, not brown.

Thank you,

Jon

Bounced Fly6

Submitted by jpiven on Wed, 02/03/2016 - 1:41pm

Hey folks,

It's astronomically unlikely that anyone would have found a Fly6 on the road (or would report it even if discovered), but one was bounced off a seatpost yesterday after another belligerent NJ driver menaced us into some potholes.

Reply only if you happened to find it....

Where do you measure frame size?

Submitted by JFinder on Wed, 02/03/2016 - 12:48pm

If a road bike has a 54cm frame, where do you put your tape to measure the 54cm?

Or does the "54" represent something else?
