help - need recommendations on bike trailers

Submitted by EGlicklich on Thu, 05/09/2013 - 1:09pm

Asking for a friend:

Does anyone have experience with bike trailers? Trying to find a good double (for 2-year old twins) that can also fold down and store into a closet. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!

...which essentially combines a long run and a visit to the weight room into about seven minutes of steady discomfort — all of it based on science.

Jenny's Big Ride Across America

Submitted by jennyp14 on Wed, 05/08/2013 - 1:04pm

Hey fellow NYCCers!

My name is Jenny and for 7 weeks this summer I will be riding from Seattle, WA to Washington, DC with the American Lung Association. I joined NYCC this past fall when I signed up for the Big Ride because at the time I knew nothing about cycling. I just finished the C-SIG and have training hard the past few months. I am looking forward to staying active with the club long after my Big Ride is over and hopefully getting to know even more of you.

I am trying to raise $6500 for the American Lung Association before I leave for my trip on June 17th. If anyone is interested in donating you can do so here:

HELP! Can't find Purple Extreme in the city

Submitted by ERayvid on Wed, 05/08/2013 - 9:31am

Who's got my Purple Extreme chain lube?

Anyone know where I can get some in the city? I've tried all the shops on the UWS, went down to Sid's and even ventured into *shudders* Paragon . . .

Anyone know of an LBS that's stocking this product?

Thanks!

Last plea for people taking the train to/from the Berkshires

Submitted by RFranco on Wed, 05/08/2013 - 6:42am

Hi everyone,

We need to know how many people are taking the train and where they plan on boarding.  This information is necessary in order for us to be assigned a train on Friday morning.  Please email [email protected] if you plan on taking a train back or/and forth from the Berkshires.  I need:

 

Allegedly there’s a *very* high likelihood of rain tomorrow morning. > 50% chance of precipitation at 7:00AM according to at least three different weather services. So being the cautious, prudent, and responsible ride leader that I am, I should probably cancel Wednesday morning’s River Road ride

…on the other hand, I’ve been burned by overly-pessimistic weather forecasts enough to know that I should wake up early and look out the window before jumping to any conclusions.

NEW RESTAURANT ON HUDSON TERRACE OPPOSITE GWB

Submitted by JJacobson on Tue, 05/07/2013 - 5:40pm

next to Econo Lodge--finishing touches being put on it--will have outdoor seating & a bar--might be nice for apres ride refreshments.  The building housed  an Asian restaurant a number of years ago and has been vacant.
