Just a warning to cyclists coming up from anyplace in Jersey South of GWB on River Rd. they've torn up a good 4-5 miles of road with lane closures tons of traffic congestion.  You'd probably be best off finding another way around like Blvd East/Palisade Ave. if you have the option.

Again...this isn't the River Road everyone rides to Piermont (Palisade Parkway) it's the River Road that runs down through Edgewater.

NYC Bike Share program is looking for senior managers for its NYC program, which will be the largest in the country and among the largest in the world (10,000 bikes). They are looking for “diverse” candidates who are qualified to run the NYC program. Candidate must have managed an organization (100+ people), had P&L responsibility (minimum $5M budget) and preferably 15 years of related experience. “Bike” experience is not necessary, but organizational management expertise is. Do you know any folks who may be looking? The program sponsors are Citi and Mastercard. The Bike Share GM is a high profile position and would have direct relationship with the program sponsors and Dept of Transportation.

I have killed my rings and cassette, and have been told it's time to change the rear derailleur as well, especially if I want to move to an 11-28 cassette. I am considering upgrading the front while I am there.

Due to tight monetary constraints, and a desire to build on my knowledge of how my bike works, I am looking to gain some experience/save some money by ordering online, and doing it DIY style.

Does anyone besides Damon Strub (whose generosity and patience, I feel I have already leaned too much upon) have the tools and know how to guide me through some deep drivetrain work?

This is from Streetsblog.org. You should be reading it everyday.

A bill targeted at NYPD’s self-imposed ban on citing motorists for careless driving passed the State Senate transportation committee but did not come to a vote in the full Senate, while the Assembly version never made it out of committee.

Does anyone have suggestions (or cue sheets) for good rides in Delaware County and its environs? I'm renting a place in the area this summer and want to get in some good riding.

Thanks!
