Paint Chip On Carbon Frame

Submitted by GlennT on Tue, 05/05/2015 - 7:10pm

Can anyone suggest how to repair a nasty chip on a carbon frame. The chip is deep enough that the carbon is showing through. No damage to the fibers. I have read about nail polish, Testors model paint...... anyone have experience with this.

There's a rumor that Henry Hudson Dr., a.k.a. River Road, is once again open to cyclists 7 days/week.  Can anyone confirm this?

Social Sunday 5/10/15 - Bronx/Greenwich/Armonk Triangle

Submitted by nymultisport on Mon, 05/04/2015 - 12:50pm

Marilyn and Ken are planning to ride ~45 miles, along the Hutch service roads to Greenwich, then through SUNY/Purchase and Bedford Rd (our vote for the most beautiful few miles in the area) to a soup/salad lunch in Armonk. We'll return along the Kensico Reservoir, then via Bronx River bike path. We'd enjoy sharing our easy, touring-paced day with a few friends. Please email if interested. 

 
 

Dr. recommendation for knee pain pls.

Submitted by Ernest on Mon, 05/04/2015 - 12:32pm

Hi fellow riders!

I'm starting to get a sharp pain on my right knee while cycling.

At one point I was thinking of quitting the Five Boro Bike Ride

at the halfway point; but used the time helping out stranded

riders(I was a volunteer marshal) as rest periods and was able to 

finish.

Can somebody recommend a sports doctor please? I used the 

search function; but got surgeons instead of doctors just for exams

and/or x-rays.

Thanks,

Ernest

Bike Rack Hire

Submitted by irab on Mon, 05/04/2015 - 8:32am

Does anyone have any experience renting a car bike rack?  I'm travling to Annecy with the family in July, and trying to work out the logistic of transporting the bike from the Geneva airport to our apartment in Annecy.  Would prefer not to rent a van, as I will only need to extra space for 2 trips to and from the airport.

Thanks!

Commute from Westchester?

Submitted by Trabbit on Sat, 05/02/2015 - 10:28pm

Hey all!

I currently live in Inwood but am considering moving up to Westchester and commuting into the city 3 days a week (3x 12.5 hour schedule). Does anyone use the South County Trailway to come down from the Tarrytown or Ossining area?

How do you feel about riding through Van Cortland Park and the upper parts of Harlem River Drive or the greenway in the dark (5:30am or after 8pm)? Is it safe for a person riding alone or have folks had issues with opportunists? 

And, is there a group of folks who ever meet up to commute together into the city from that area?

Thanks ahead of time for any insights!

Hardenburgh between Anderson and County Road is blocked

Submitted by GRoss on Sat, 05/02/2015 - 7:32pm

Maybe this was posted before, but we found out today that Hardenburgh just south of Anderson, has a bridge under contstruction and the road is blocked. So if you're heading to Knickerbocker or Schralenburg on Hardenburgh, find another way to get to County Road. we just went over to Closter Dock Road and then doubled back, which wasn't ideal, but worked.

The detour around the bridge construction on Oak Tree in Tappan is very well marked so that's no big deal.
