While the Mid-Atlantic region was, as expected, dominated by exclusive New York locations, three New Jersey zip codes also represented the region — the highest number New Jersey has ever
NYCC Logo and Kit redesign
It’s taken a while, but I think our Club has woken up from Covid-19. Not that we’ve put it entirely behind us, but we’ve learned to live with it while going about (most of) our daily lives. To continue the waking up metaphor, we’ve stumbled into the shower, maybe shaved, tended to our teeth and are staring into the closet.
Public restrooms - and the lack thereof - and peeplace/en
Have you all seen the very interesting article in Bloomberg CityLab entitled "Where Did All the Public Bathrooms Go"? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-11-05/why-american-cities-lost-their-public-bathrooms
Reminds me of the misery of planning a ride during the lockdown. Could only be as far as would allow me to turn around and get home without embarrassing myself.
The best part of the article is a reference to peeplace/en: https://pee.place/en This site shows publc restrooms near the user. I haven't tried it yet since there's a scary storm going on outside my window right now.
Use caution on the South County Trail!!
The trail is rideable, but at a slower pace.
1) Most of the trail is covered in leaves. You can’t see the pavement, and worse, you can’t see the edges. I’ve “fallen” off the edge of the pavement twice in the last two days and I know the trail as I ride it almost every day. I’ve been riding closer to what I think is the center. That works at the times of the day I’ve been riding, as there are few other people out on the SCT around sunrise.
2) There are trees down all over the trail. Nothing blocking, everything has been cut and pushed to the sides, but the debris is left on the trail.
Bike shop that has Castelli bib tights in stock?
Can anyone suggest a bike shop in the city that might have a selection of Castelli bib tights? I want to buy, but have not been able to find in an actual store. Would be much simpler to get the correct size as opposed to trial and error ordering online.
Thanks,
Dave

Cycling in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Hello! I am hoping to get some information/suggestions about cycling in Fort Laudardale, FL (bike shops and routes/destinations).
I am going to spend a week there in December and thought I'd rent a bike while I'm there. (This is something I've done before in other places, but I'm not familiar Fortlaudardale.) According to Yelp, Pedritos Bike Shop and Downtown Bicycles seem to be good options and closer to where I'll be.
I'd appreciate any leads.

Major Step Forward in Hudson-Essex Greenway
New Jersey committed to purchasing the right of way of the Boonton rail line, the big "missing piece" for the Hudson-Essex rail-trail project. While it will no doubt be years before the project is completed and open, it now looks like that day will in fact come.
The Essex-Hudson Trail will provide a car-free right of way from the PATH station in Jersey City across the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers, and the Meadowlands, to Montclair. It will make road cycling in lovely Morris County NJ far more accessible for NYers.
