Lance Jacobs, a bike instructor, is teaching a one evening bike safety class at Bicycle Renaissance next Thursday January 24th.  I have not had personal contact with Lance Jacobs or his work, as I am just passing this info along at BR's request.  I thought his home page had a persuasive legal/practical argument for not riding so far to the right on certain streets.  

Info about the bike safety evening is at:  http://www.virtuousbicycle.com/BlogSpace/events/

There are meetings this week on proposed pedestrian and cyclist improvements on River Road between the GWB and Edgewater (that is, the REAL River Road, not Henry Hudson Drive in Palisades Interstate Park).  Proposed changes include bike lanes and reduced speed limits (details in this p

For article I'm writing for NYT about bicycle commuters to NYC in winter.  Does anybody know a CT to NYC rider?  o need an LI to NYC rider.  Thank you.)

(A shout out and many thanks to club members--Ellen Jaffe, Neile Weissman and our president--who have been very helpful with info and some tech assistance for this assignment.)

Thanks,

I'm looking for recommendation for a good, affordable wheel builder. What are peoples thoughts?

Also, I found older messages announcing wheel builder classes/workshops. This interests me greatly; does anyone know if something like this is likely to take place this year?

I am officially cancelling tomorrow morning's "Morning Laps in Central Park" ride because of the weather forecast and for personal reasons (I am tired from a long hard weekend -- working Saturday and strenuous ride Sunday).

A general question: Is it necessary to post a message about a ride here or is just seending an e-mail to folks who cared enough to sign up suffice?

The wheels of government move slowly , but lets not become sacrificed in the planning

I was surprised to see the acreage completely barren.  Obviously, not closed for winter (they never were), but for good.  Anyone have info?

Will be doing 3-4 laps at A17-18 pace. If you want to join meet us at Engineers Gate at 6:30 PM sharp. Message me if you're planning on joining.

anyone know where to get 700x23 or 700x25 gum wall tires?

After fifteen+ years on my trusty hybrid with toe cages, I'm buying a mid-level road bike and switching to the (oddly named but I get it) 'clipless' tech. Looking for any steerage on a source and/or brand for shoes. My feet are a bit weird: wider at the toe end, with narrow heels. So shopping for street and athletic shoes has always been hit or miss. Have spent some horrible days in non-fitting ski boots/skates.

Online or brick-and-mortar, all suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance!
