I was side swiped today (might have been a livery cab but not sure) and went down on York near 64th St.  They didn't even stop to see if I was ok.  Luckily the car behind the offending vehicle stopped (blocked traffic) to make sure I was ok as did some passersby on the side walk.  Luckily again, I was not hurt beyond a few minor scratches/bruises.  My bike is bend out of shape though and I think a spoke is broken... it's in the shop...not sure yet what it will cost. 

This is the first time this has happened to me and I'm wondering if I should be reporting it somewhere?  I feel like it should be included in some citywide statistics. 

I'd appreciate any guidance from more experienced than me club members.

Thanks,

I am running for President of the Club. Read about my background, platform and rationale  on the 2014 Candidate Positions page 

There are two nominees for the club presidency, me and Neile Weissman. Neile is an able candidate, as am I. Neither of us has ever served on the club board or, to my knowledge, been a club officer. We both love cycling and lead quite a few rides.

People,

Bike-Ped advocates in Rutherford, NJ need signatures for a Safe Streets petition to put a fast, truck-heavy roadway on a "diet".  If you are live there, work there, travel through or have friends-relatives, please take a moment to sign the petition.  

A rider in our group found a smart phone on the road today during our fall foliage ride.  The phone was found in the middle of Chestnut Ridge Road about 16 miles into the ride.

The phone's screen is shattered but it looks like it can be turned on, so maybe some data can be salvaged.  My guess is that it fell out of someone's pocket.

Please contact me directly if this is your phone.

Is anyone else riding from NY?

Hi,

I was looking at rides posted by Ron Gentile last year going through the Jungle Habitat trails - http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1730449 or "shorter" version via Garrison http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1679012

If anyone has been there this year and could advise on the conditions that would be very helpful. Is this rideable on a regular road bike?

Thanks !

Fanny
