Hello NYCC-

A quick update on the waitlist functionality...

First, emails for waitlister to rider are NOT going out.  We hope to have it done by the weekend.  However, it's likely the fix will not be done in time.  So, keep an eye on your rides/waitlists.

Second, there are reports that creating a ride with unlimited riders was having issues.  We are aware and rolling out a fix and more simplied UI next week.

Thanks for patience and thanks to my testers from yesterday.

Heard on first chilly morning in Central Park,  “I didn’t recognize anyone with their clothes on”.

And I thought this was a wholesome cycling club.

I attended the CP community council meeting last night, which addressed concerns from both cyclists and pedestrians on cycling issues, both in CP and in NYC, in general.

It's a good read, highlights what we know already (but what the rest of the public may in the dark about)...

According to the article, the NY DMV recorded 3000+/- serious non fatal accidents last year in New York City... numbers like that makes it seem as if we're living in a war-zone... and just like a real war-zone, too many seem not to care.

I tried revising ride because the sign up wasn't showing (conflict with listing ride as unlimited due to recent changes to waitlist). anyways, Tuesday river road is ON! Meet at 6:15AM at NJ side of GWB! see you then

Group ride for the Tour de Yonkers, scheduled for September 30, 2012.  Note, there's an entry fee.  See:  www.yonkersbikeclub.org for basic information. 

I'm trying to get more details about the route.  The ride listing will be updated as I get more information.

We'll ride the 40-mile route as a group and then continue on to somewhere else such as Scarsdale or Mamaroneck for a late lunch.

Only when I do Century rides do I have problems with my IT band on right knee. I am assuming it is an adjustment my usual cycle shop, Larry & Jeff's on 79th and 3rd can not fix. can you recommend a place for a full bike fitting? I have been trying to schedule at Chelsea Piers and get voice mail and no one calls back.

Appreciate any advice.

Hi, I started cycling after a running injury (I'm sure a familiar story) about 6 months ago. At first, I thought of it as a sort of punishment but now, I LOVE riding and have really started to increase my speed and mileage. However, I really need help with learning some of the basics of not only maintenance, but on basic riding skills. I just found out I have been riding with a psi of 40. I'm afraid to change certain gears for fear that my chain will fall off and I won't be able to put it back on :) Is there anyone out there who perhaps coaches?

thanks,

Marky (girl not a boy nickname :)

Thank you to everyone for waiting patiently for BARTS.
