The first Volunteer Coordinator will be elected at the Club's November 2015 elections.

The MTA is finally testing out the use of bike racks on buses, starting with a couple of lines that go over the Verrazano Bridge between Brooklyn & Staten Island.  http://www.mta.info/news-bikes-buses-new-york-city-transit/2015/08/31/racks-available-s53-s93-routes-1-year-pilot

Don't know if they're going out of business or just clearing stock.  Most of the road frames are gone, but they seem to have a decent amount of MTB, TT and cross frames left.

NYPD's Crime Prevention Unit reached out to inquire if anyone in the Club had first hand experience installing a GPS tracking device on their bike.  Example.

If you do, email me.  Thanks.

Also (not bike specific):

Just putting the warning out there. We came across it in the dark this am and had to pull brakes pretty hard to avoid it.

It was on a down hill just before the picnic area.

Riding from the North Bronx (end of subway line) to Sharon, CT (just south of the Berkshires) on Friday (Sept 4).

Route is 90 miles to Sharon. I ride at B-17 (or B-16).

Early start.

Anybody interested in joining me for all or part of this ride?

Details on the Out of Bounds calendar....
