Does anyone have any helpful tips for behind the patella knee pain when cycling? (And using leg press & climbing stairs, but who cares about that!)

In my little experiment, I found that lower gears and higher cadence help, but there is such a thing as too low. I suspect a muscle imbalance/tightness, because it's on one side where I've had a hip issue.

Any shared experience is welcome.

Thanks.

We are looking for volunteers to help greet attendees at the door for the upcoming C-SIG graduation club meeting on June 9th. Duties are very simple and you get the priviledge of being one of the first to congratulate the new class of C-SIG graduates, joining in the festivities while earning valuable volunteer credit.

The meeting is at Connolly's 121 W 45th Street btw 6th and Broadway, 3rd floor. Volunteers should plan to arrive by 5:45 pm.

Please use the e-mail response button on the left if you are able to help out!

Thanks.

Hey Folks,

We just introduced a small enhancement to the Ride Roster. The system will automatically email the Ride Roster to all Ride Leaders within an hour of the ride start.

For folks with a smart phone, the email will be formatted so that you can click-to-dial phone numbers for both riders and emergency contacts.

If you don't want to recieve these emails you can turn this off on your user profile by following these steps

Hi All,

Anyone know of a safe way to ride from Jersey City to the GWB? River Rd appears to be the go-to, but I find that road terrifying even when driving. I don't know of any other routes. I'm a newbie and still trying to make my way in the world. Oh, and if anyone in the Jersey City/Hoboken side is riding up this weekend, perhaps I can shadow? Thanks!

A Michigan judge banned a woman from owning a cell phone Wednesday as part of her probation after she killed a cyclist while driving distracted last fall.

Mitzi Nelson pleaded no-contest in the death of Jill Byelich. Nelson struck Byelich, who was wearing a helmet and reflective clothing, as she rode her bike last fall.

Has anyone taken a bike trip in Ireland with a company they would recommend?

Felix Gitelman...someone found your bike "wallet" on 9W.  It is being held at Strictly Bikes on Hudson Terrace.

I remember it as two very different events.  One had hero sandwiches and one had hot dogs and hamburgers.  I also remember the locations as being different.  Am I right or wrong?

My new tires list the pressure range as 85 to 115 psi. I've always just pumped my tires to max pressure, never really thought about it. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of filling tires to different pressures?
