Better Bike Rental

Submitted by PLucido on Thu, 06/16/2022 - 2:16pm

Any advice on where to rent a decent bike, preferrably in Manhattan?  Something suitable to get me to, over and back from Bear Mountain with A-STS level riders. 

Warranty replacement of the fork on my only bike now won't happen this week and maybe not until the end of next week.

I'm going to have to remedy the only bike situation but right now, I need to find a subsitiute.

If you ever thought about leading a ride,, join us for our ride leader training session - but this  is not a casual C ride, so don't sign up unless you want to learn practical ride leading skills in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

We'll have a pre-ride class (about 30-45 minutes) and then do the ride, giving each participant a turn at the front. 

Caesar Aguilar is leading a Montauk R/T in a day Saturday. 250 miles. Those signed up and wait listed: Clarence Forbes, Martin Eklund, Alex Graves,Vikram Bhatwadekar, Conrad Boult, William Rosado, David Sun, and Lydia S (no last name on the sign-up sheet or club roster). 

Here is a bit of club history that includes your forebears.

Look, I really  don't want to ride with you or anybody, but after riding solo 20+ years in the Alps (and being an octogenarian), my partner insists I ride with someone(s).
