Why don't recreational cyclists take large locks on rides?

We arrived at Alpine at about 9:45 AM and left maybe 15 minutes later. I noticed after we left that it was gone. I took a photo at 9:49 AM of the rack at Alpine, and the photo shows it's still on the bike. 

I reported it to the police at the station and interstingly, none of their 5 survaillance cameras monitor the bike rack (if a crime was to happen it would happen somewhere in the empty open lot, not anywhere near the bike rack, right?)

Lately I've noticed there seems to be a certain class of roadie that gets offended if I pull left to pass on the GWB and don't immediately swerve the bike back over to the right when I'm done. And don't maintain the rightmost possible line thereafter, even if there's adequate passing room without. If I'm out on my tandem especially, yeah, it's a slightly wide bike, but it's also best not to steer the tandem too dramatically, so...

Yesterday this took the form of a faster roadie barking something like "Move to your right!" at us.

Today I took a small group to Piermont and used Hickory to get from Andersn to County Road/Piermont Road. It was pretty torn up for most of its length.

Has anyone been on Hardenburgh or Homans recently and knows their condition between Anderson and County Road?

They may be similar; it's been a tough winter.

Tickets being given out on River Road.  Officer saying road is closed and not open.

I just posted a C-13 ride to Piermont to fill the gap left when Ken Weissman had to cancel his ride. This is a simple, not fast, no-drop ride with only one large hill (Walnut on the way home). Sign up if you wish, or just show up at Eleanor at 9:00 AM tomorrow morning. I will be there with or without other riders.

The reason I chose Piermont is I know how to get there and back.

Hindy Schachter and Christy Guzzetta are leading an All Class memorial ride Sunday, 4/19.  We will be taking part in the Ghost Ride remembering those who lost their lives on the streets of New York City in 2014.  Two such people are particularly dear to us, Irving Schachter and Jill Tarlov.  We hope you will join us on this day of remembrance.  Regardless of whether you knew Irv or you knew Jill, their passing hits close to home.  Their providence could have been any one of our fate, of our family’s, of our friends’.  According to Ghost Ride, 144 pedestrians lost their lives in a fatality involving a motor vehicle on the streets of New York City in 2014, at least 20 cyclists lost their lives while riding their bike.

The proposed Bronx Hudson River Greenway could eventually become an all river bike/ped link between the Manhattan Hudson River Greenway and Westchester and beyond.  Please come out and support the efforts to make a Riverdale Hudson River Greenway a reality this Sunday between 1PM and 3PM at the Metro North Riverdale train station.  See the KRVC link for details.

Is there currently any roadwork or milling on 9W. There was a post a few weeks ago about roadwork on Hudson Terrace starting n 4/13.

Thanks.
