Can anyone tell me how to bike over the High Bridge and whether it involves carrying your bike up or down a lot of steps? 

Thanks in advance!

Question about ENY route changes this year

Submitted by Mucow on Fri, 09/25/2015 - 5:48pm

Anyone know what the logic was behind the changes to the 100-mile ENY route this year? Seems like it's a pretty big change from years past—is there some kind of repaving/construction happening on Saddle River Rd, or was it just time for a refresh?

 

Edit: Changed the topic name from "ENY Route changes this year" to clarify I'm asking a question, not announcing changes. Derp.

Spotted on the sidewalk near GCT today

I haven't seen many officers on bikes on the past. Protecting the Pope may have brought out more of them today.

Its nice to see the police on bikes but this guy should get a ticket!

Nasty Crash in Prospect Park Today Morning

Submitted by Yuvraj.Dodia on Fri, 09/25/2015 - 11:27am

I don't know the details of how the crash happened, but did see at-least 2 cyclists on the ground and a couple more on the side of the road. The cyclists on the ground looked like they were in a lot of pain and were later transported into ambulances. None of them looked like they were part of any racing team, but I could be wrong.

This happened around 7:00 AM on the West Drive descent, near the lake, where the roads aren't in the best of conditions and one can pick up considerable speed there, upwards of 25-30. 

"Odd musings".... post yours here... cycling or club related, of course...

I just realized that I have not been a participant in any club ride in 2015...

People,

A shout out to 7th District Council Member Mark Levine for speaking out before Port Authority on the George Washington Bridge.  Mark's (and my own) comments to PA Commissioners  below.  

Thanks, Mark!

CP laps

CP is incredibly empty Thursday evening at 5:30 pm. With a good portion of the park drive fenced off, it feels even safer.

The man does work miracles !
