Testimonial for Tenafly Bike Workshop

Submitted by JFinder on Mon, 08/10/2015 - 7:52am

Yesterday on the way back to the city I broke a spoke. We got to Tenafly 5 minutes before their closing time, and they kept the store open for an extra 25 minutes to repair my wheel. They were friendly and helpful about the whole thing. 

PS. Right now they're running a sale on 2015 road bikes. 25-30 percent off.

Marilyn and I are riding to Manhattan Beach for lunch tomorrow (Sunday.) Friends can meet up at Eleanor Roosevelt statue for a prompt 9:00am departure.  

Easy, slower-paced city ride.  Be sure to let us know if you’re coming.

Can anyone tell me if all or part of the Rockaway LI Boardwalk would be good for/legal for cycling Saturday, mid-day, in August?

New Bike Fit

Submitted by SYoung on Tue, 08/04/2015 - 10:00pm

I went to pick up my new bike -but having a bit of an issue with fit - When I took the bike for test run - I felt the handlebars were too far away and I was stretching my back/arms. But the bike salesperson felt that when we changed the stem to a smaller size i was scrunching my upper back - and actually took a picture to show me -- It does appear i'm pulling more from my upper back than my core/lower bacck - but this is the way I've been riding for years --

Do I have the bike fit to my riding style or to one that might improve my riding and back?

Bike Fit / Numbness

Submitted by BartB on Tue, 08/04/2015 - 8:04pm
Hi all,
 
Just recently I invested in a beautiful bike, thus far I have ridden 70 miles on it. The guys at the shop supposedly fitted me properly, but it does not seem so.
 
There are two issues:
1. After riding for about 20 minutes, my hands start to go numb.
2. When I finish riding my right foot (right side of the sole) is in pain when I unclip and step onto the  ground.
 
I have mentioned this to shop, but it seems no one knows the answer, any help is much appreciated.   
 
Thank You,   
BB
