Helmet Advice

Submitted by MLevin on Thu, 09/24/2015 - 1:59pm

All,

I recently crashed, as a result of the repaving on 9W and the height difference between the shoulder and road just south of the Alpine heading North.

Anyways, I am now trying to find a new helmet to get back on the bike in a couple of weeks.  I am debating between the following helmets:

Catlike - Mixino

Kask - Vertigo 2.0

POC - Octal Race Day

 

Does anyone have any experience with any of these helmets and can give me your thoughts?  Crash protection and comfort are probably the two most important factors to me.

 

Thanks,

Mark

 

ENY - age requirement?

Submitted by AZonca on Wed, 09/23/2015 - 3:19pm

I plan to ride the 25 miles Bergen spin with my son, who is 12.

I am sure he can do it, as we have done similar rides in the past, including the Five Boro Bike Tour in 2014.

I did not see an age requirement on this site and I want to make sure this is ok before showing up at the start.

I would appreciate a response by any informed NYCC member.

Thanks.

Anyone Shipped a Bike to the West Coast Recently?

Submitted by PStorey on Wed, 09/23/2015 - 1:12pm

I have to ship a BikeFriday tandem (two actually) to the west coast.  Each will fit in a standard bike box, or in a couple of moving boxes.  Any suggestions? UPS? Specialty bike shipping service? Other?

Thanks,

Peter

Central Park B16 morning ride for Thursday, September 24 is CANCELLED

Submitted by GRoss on Tue, 09/22/2015 - 4:18pm

Due to the Pope's visit. Even if the park is open at 6:00 AM Thursday, it might be difficult to get to it so that morning's ride is cancelled. We'll resume next week as usual: 6:00 AM at Tavern on the Green, 67 street and CPW.

Thanks!
