reccomendations on loud horns or bells

Submitted by LPress on Mon, 10/08/2012 - 5:39pm

Looking for reccomendations on loud horns for commuting. For use to alert cars- not bikes or peds. The only two I've seen on the market are the hornit and the airzound- both over the top, crazy loud. Is there anything else out there?

Thanks

Bike locker for terrace?

Submitted by JFeinberg on Mon, 10/08/2012 - 10:54am

My wife and I are consolidating our apartment in preparation for an impending arrival, and as such there is no longer room for keeping our road bikes (2) in the apartment.  We're thinking of keeping them on the terrace instead.  Rather than just leaning them against the wall, we were thinking getting some sort of bike shed so that they're not completely exposed to the elements.  So far all I have found is the Keter XL stor-shed:

Can anyone recommend any other choices?  We're looking for something that can hold two road bikes.

I joined just before the ride to Rye a month or so ago.  Does the NYCC send out membership cards?

Looking for a good Sleepy Hollow and back ride

Submitted by Moss55 on Sun, 10/07/2012 - 6:34pm

Hi everyone,  I'm looking to do a Sleepy Hollow and back tomorrow with my buddy but I'm having a hard time finding one.  The only catch is that my buddy doesn't have a Metro North card yet so we can't pop on the train mid-way (unless I'm wrong and you can get those anywhere) so heading all the way to Cold Spring or somewhere else is out of the question right now.

Any suggestions appreciated.  Thanks!

Indoor cycling trainers

Submitted by busschops on Sun, 10/07/2012 - 5:36pm

Hi all,

After coming back from two sunny and hot weeks in South America, I realized during my ride today that autumn is really kicking in. Shorter days, lower temperatures and off course the rain and wet roads.  

Therefore I decided to start looking for an Indoor Cycling Trainer to help me trough the winter. I have no experience with that sort of equipment but heard some good things about Tacx trainers while I was still living in Europe. Tacx however, doesn’t seem to be that active in the US market.

What brand, type, etc would you recommend?

No rush yet, we still have some decent weeks ahead of us, but all input is appreciated to help me do my research.

Thanks for your help!

South County Trailway Ardsley Access : Re-Opened

Submitted by JFinder on Sun, 10/07/2012 - 3:41pm

The Elm St. entry to the South County Trailway in Ardsley was obliterated by construction last summer.

After completion of the new Westchester-Sports-something building, a new access to the SC Trailway off Elm Street has been created, just past the new building.

10/7 Monsey Bakery ride - change of plan

Submitted by DHudes on Sat, 10/06/2012 - 8:29pm

Given the weather forecast is for 60-70% chance of rain by 2PM and that I can't start before 10 AM I'm going to shorten this ride. We'll do 39 miles coming back through Teaneck and use Butterflake Bake shop on Cedar Lane instead of Zishe's in Monsey. If the weather turns against us earlier, we can turn back earlier.

The ride has ben revised and resubmitted as Bergen Jaunt and Teaneck Bakery ride
