Over the past several weeks, traffic has picked up on the bridge... it's been my experience that this is normal, as the weather warms, and daylight hours grow longer, more people use the ped/bike lane... I see this as a positive.

About 6:05 pm last night (Tuesday, April 30th), police cars (lights flashing) on the SW corner of Broadway and 8th St in Manhattan. A woman was speaking with police as a sky blue Cannondale with a blue helmet attached to the handlebars was driven off in the back of a police SUV. The woman did not appear to be dressed as if she had been cycling. That's about all I know, as I happen to be running by, obviously just after what precipitated the event.

My friend lost his White Capo wind vest on 9W last Saturday, possibly by the Market.  He's hoping someone may have come across it on their ride.

Thanks

All,

We moved some of the top-level menu items around in an effort to better allign the menu items with the top-level sections. Informational/reference type information were moved from the "About Us" and the "Rides/Events" sections into the "Resources" section. Nothing was removed, just moved around. If you can't find something please look under the "Resources" section to see if it's been moved there.

Does anyone have any strong recommendations for/against a 3-4 bike trunk rack? I don't own a car but would like to use it occassionally on rentals etc... so something that fits a wide variety of cars would be ideal.  I've been looking at the Saris Bones (http://www.amazon.com/Saris-Bones-801-3-Bike-Trunk/dp/B000BT30RU) and the Allen Deluxe (http://www.amazon.com/Allen-Deluxe-3-Bike-Trunk-Mount/dp/B000ELQNYM)

Thanks!

I'm training for my first Olympic distance triathlon. I've done a number of Sprint distances in the past, but not for a number of years. Does anyone have an 8 week training plan they can share with me? Thanks in advance!

Has anyone ever heard of Goodbyecycle.com? they made a pretty decent offer on one of my old bikes but I don't know anyone who has used the service.

If you know anything about them, please let me know.

Thanks!

At the suggestion of another NYCCer, I am posting a shorter message.
