I'm am about to shoot myself after many attempts to create routes using: googlemaps, bikeroutetoaster, basecamp.  I cannot manage to plot a route.  The route goes berserk.  Someone in this club must know how to do this.  Please help while I still have some hair on my head!

Did you know, thousands of New Yorkers have never learned to ride a bike?

My friend just broke a chain stay. He'd like to recycle the 9-Spd Dura-Ace parts, but has been told that new model frames won't accept his bottom bracket. True? I thought the ISO and Italian cup sizes and threadings had continued unchanged into the era of external bearings, etc.  Anyone know?

5:30 p.m. report about the tacks...glad it's getting some media attention...maybe the CP cops will patrol. 

And...our own Harvey Minsky (a/k/a Hesh) was interviewed on camera!

It looks the NYPD thinks that the last thing this city needs is random outbreaks of free bike repairs.

Is crime that low in NYC that the cops don't have any real ciminals to catch?

The repair work on the Tiorati Brook Rd. bridge and culvert and the paving of Seven Lakes Dr. from Askoti to Sloatsburg will begin on Monday July 16, 2012. The work on Tiorati Brook Rd. should take about 3 weeks. On Seven Lakes Dr., expect delays for 4 to 6 weeks. The work will be done Monday thru Friday from 7 am to 7 pm, weather permitting.

My dad, who was visiting from overseas, had a tragic bicycle accident on Queensboro Bridge on June 23rd at 7.58PM. It was on a Queens side on a bike path that is shared with pedestrians. I was riding with him that fateful day but was behind him and didn't see the actual accident.
The police didn't arrive until we were already in the hospital.
Unfortunately, the fall was so tragic that my dad succumbed to his injuries on June 27th. 
I'm still in shock and would like to have a closure of what exactly happened. I know there were 2 pedestrians (girls) who saw what happened and were the first ones to call the ambulance. I didn't have a chance to ask them what happened because we rushed to the hospital.
