Interesting link on green technologies applied to bicycle manufacture.

I was hoping one of you could tell me the easiest way to get from the exit ramp of the GWB on the NYC side to the Hudson River Waterfront walkway/bike path?  I have come over a couple of times and it gets random thereafter.  I have checked out a couple maps, but still cannot figure it out.

Thanks for your help! - kirk

If you are planning to ride in the MS Bike NYC event next week (Oct 21), and are either looking for other riders or would like to join a paceline group, please let me know.

This is not a club event; feel free to invite friends or co-workers who are up to the ride.

We will arrange to meet at the event site and work out groups/logistics based everyone's capability.

For anyone interested, Ive posted the Garmin tcx route and Cue sheet on RideWithGPS.com as "2012 Bike MS NYC Century"

Went down to get my bike this morning and it has been stolen from my building.

If anyone see's or hears about a polished Titanium frame traditional shape not compact. Campagnolo 10 speed carbon fiber group, 13-29 medium der. Stella Italia seat. Brand new Michelin Race 3 black wall tires on black Mavic Open Pro rims with Record hubs. No branding on the frame, it was made by Sandvik.

If you hear or see of anything like this please email, [email protected]

Thanks,

Bryan

I'm intending to keep riding to work until there is ice. But was wondering if studded tires really work?

This was too interesting not to post.  This link is from ABC news.  How bicycling captures the best and worst in us.

“Traffic accidents are down year-to-date. However, bicycle accidents are up 2.7 percent,” McCarthy said. The worst precinct for accidents involving bikes is the 90th, which covers Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood and saw 113 accidents through September 23. This was also the most deadly precinct for cyclists last year. Central Park comes in second, with 98 accidents so far this year — 91 of them involving a motor vehicle hitting a bike, and seven where a bike hit a pedestrian.

Tomorrow is the day of our first Fall Foliage ride, to Peekskill via Croton Dam.  Here are a few things to be aware of if you are riding this route tomorrow.

A fun Friday mini-adventure, with entry to a paradise of smoked fish! My $45 budget (a fortune at present) got me a half-full backpack of herring in wine sauce (64 oz, plus some Finnish tidbits), a pound each of salmon and trout, and an incredibly tasty whitefish salad that is already half gone.

The Brooklyn Bridge was almost tolerable on this cool cloudy morning. We saw some awesome automotive bottlenecks out there, which for me began with Comic-Con at the Javitz. I figured something was up when I saw crowds of adult men crossing 34th St. in superhero costumes.

Unnoticed was that all three trippers had names with "ara" in the first two syllables.

Thank you Yehudit for this wonderful morning!
