On behalf of those wait listed who didn't come, may I express my befuddlement at your lack of consideration...one of you a repeat offender.

1 Tube, 2 patches?

Submitted by aluna on Sat, 06/15/2013 - 5:26pm

Hi folks,

Today I got a flat. The inner tube was previously patched and now I'm wondering is it ok to use another patch on the new puncture to reuse the tube a second time, or am I pushing my luck here?

 

Thanks.

SeeClickFix Pothole App

Submitted by GGordon on Fri, 06/14/2013 - 7:33pm

This seems like a very useful smartphone app. http://seeclickfix.com/apps

You can take a picture of a road hazard and it will automatically send the pic the appropriate municipal authority.

Ritchey Breakaway

I'm considering purchasing this bike as I'm tired of traveling with my road bike and paying some of the crazy costs. Anyone have feedback on the ease of breaking it down and putting it together. And the quality of the ride of the steel version.

 

Late ride listing - Compressed C-SIG Redux

Submitted by tim on Fri, 06/14/2013 - 3:06pm

First of all, congrats to all the C-Sigges that graduated this past Tuesday at Annie Moore's.  :)

I am looking to ride and familiarize myself with other routes in the Ride Library and have submitted a compressed schedule for C-SIG rides.  Please find the "Compressed C-Sig Redux" series of rides on Saturday and Sunday in the near future once they have been approved. 

Hope to see you there!

The comments are somewhat entertaining.

NY mag might've pulled the video, Streetsblog might still have it up.

It's two guys driving nearly identical cars fighting for a parking spot on the UES, with a Seinfeld-esque slap fight thrown in.

Can someone knowledgeable about the GWB construction to be started in 2014 talk about how bicycle (and pedestrian) crossings will be affected?

LOOPS AND LAPS ----- SIGN UP NOW

The Parks Department has a wonderful adult lap swim program in Central Park at the big pool by the Harlem Hill descent.  7-8:30 every morning.  We're going to figure out how to do some nice A loops and follow it up with some laps in the pool.  There is a reasonably secure place for us to lock bikes up, which we can put in place before the loops.  You'll just need to bring a small lock to use one of the lockers to change.

NY Gran Fondo

Why does NYCC seem support the NJ but not the NY Gran Fondo.  The former seems more advertised and promoted while the latter is not.
