fractured pelvis and body armor

Submitted by NWeissman on Thu, 05/31/2012 - 8:49am

Had a discussion with an NYCC member returning to cycling after a fractured pelvis.  They were by advised another recovering cyclist to wear a double chamois as added protection.  So I thought, why not get serious and recommended a sissixone "sub short":

I own four pair and rotate them.  The manufacturer currently has only men's small in stock, but you could order through your LBS and there are a number of online resellers:

Anyone have strong preferences for tubes? I'd like to order a box as my current stock is running low.

Jersey Shore Ride

Submitted by bherrick on Wed, 05/30/2012 - 4:56pm

Does anyone have any good routes to get down to the Jersey Shore by bike? I was planning on taking the Ferry to Fort Hancock and riding south to LBI from there or doing something along those lines. Has anyone done this before and have any advice?

Lost Red Cellphone on 9w May 30th

Submitted by DMC on Wed, 05/30/2012 - 1:26pm

I believe I lost my red Samsung Galaxy Cellphone while doing a ride from Grants Tomb to Alpine and back on 9w. It probably fell out on the Northbound rise on 9w before it intersects with Alpine (I've already gone there, and it's not there now). If anyone picked it up, please email me at [email protected].  Thanks, DC

This past evening, during the rush hours of 5-7:00 PM, I had the wonderful pleasure of happily riding in the middle lane of Prospect Park, now reserved just for cycling (although of course two young roller bladers found their way into the lane), as the new DOT traffic pattern has finally gone into effect. This is a huge win for the cyclists who ride in Prospect Park during the hours of 7-9:00 AM and 5-7:00 PM. Hopefully, this will set a precident for doing the same in Central Park in the near future.  It clearly shows that advocacy works!
