Sorry folks, the ride is cancelled... we'll try again next week.

I'm a displaced New Yorker recruiting Yankee fans (and what the heck, Mets fans too) to join the 7th Annual Mass BikePike Tour this August.  We always get a nice turnout from NYC folks and this year will be particularly fun. Here's some info, and don't forget, the early bird discount ends February 28th!

Saturday's forecast is for snow. I have changed the ride date to the alternate date, Monday February 18. The ride listing may be down for a few hours while the revision is being approved.

I hope you can all come on Monday.

To my Brooklyn cycling friends: Some of you might know my friend, Joe Lawler, former head mechanic at Sid's on 34th Street, who, last summer, took the job of service manager at Bicycle Roots, until last month on Fulton Street in the Bed-Stuy section of Brooklyn.

Joe went to work at Bicycle Roots because it's the kind of business he believes in: a community- and service-oriented bike shop that pays as much attention to the neigborhood kid with a flat as it does to the Lycra-clad tri-geek looking to upgrade her drive train.

B15 Morning laps in Central Park cancelled due to wet roads.

Snow in forecast means black ice and wet roads. 

The weather report for tonight and tomorrow morning is marginal. I will make a go-no go decision at 5:00 AM and contact everyone who has signed up for the ride.

Most hopeful sentence in the above article: Howard Wolfson, a deputy mayor, also suggested on Thursday that any mayoral hopeful would be unwise to reignite a settled debate, saying, “The great bike war is over, and the opponents lost.”
