For people who like to waste their time with social media ...

I started a li'l Pinterest board for the many strange bikes (and once-were bikes) we see around Manhattan. You know, the ones you just have to stop and catch on your iPhone. Feel free to pin stuff you find onto it! https://pinterest.com/galfromdownunda/bonza-bikes/

Could you put a dollar value on bike commuting? That is, let's say you are given an option: you can have your absolutely ideal bike commuting setup (whatever that means to you), or you can have X more dollars in your paycheck. Solve for X.

I am the original owner of a gorgeous steel, red and white, 1985 Dave Scott Ironman Centurion and want to repaint it. I have already contacted two reputable companies that repaint bikes for estimates. But before I send the bike frame and fork to be repainted, I need to find a set of the original decals, or a company to reproduce them somewhat inexpensively,  as i want to replicate the original design. I have been scouring the Internet for a few days without success. Can anyone help me?

Anyone interested in buying my registration for next Sunday's Ride the River Valley ride?  Due to work commitments I won't be able to use it.  Please respond to this message if interested.  Thanks!  KPersky

Do we really need a well-known sports figure nearly wiping out a couple of tourists in Central Park?  See NY Times article.  And all because he was reading a text on his cell phone while riding!
