For those interested who have not done this ride before, it is a slow-paced, safety-oriented ride. There is usually some media presence and family and friends of the fallen do show up. The rides will take place with legs in different boroughs, starting around 1 PM, and converge at the last bike near the Queensboro bridge at 4:30. The after event is still in the planning stages but it looks to be food and drinks at a nearby LIC area venue. I encourage all to attend however much of the routes as you can, and show support for the casualties of 2012, and for safer streets going forward.

Hairpin turn on east side access ramp is ice. We had to dismount to get around it. Hopefully it will melt in the next couple of hours.

HI-

I was invited by one of your members to post my ad here. Thanks Bob Ross!

Anyway, the shop I run, Adeline Adeline needs some ft/pt mechanics and salespeople for the upcoming spring bike sale rush. If you're not familiar, we sell city bikes and accessories. Our bicycles run the gamut from $400 singlespeeds to pretty high end cargo bikes, but they're all designed to get riders from point A to B in comfort and style.

Here's a little more specific breakdown of what we're looking for in a candidate:

More support for speed cameras

Seems to me we can use support from all sectors in the fight for speed cameras. Here are two articles showing data outside schools and the call for cameras to catch speeders.
