Hi everyone - today's ENY event was a great success overall, based on early reports - it was a beautiful day and a tremendous number of volunteers put their copious time and energy into making it happen.  
 
There is one more task we need to make happen.  If you are available tomorrow at or around12 noon, we new half a dozen people to meet at at our storage facility (Manhattan Mini Storage, 570-571 Riverside Dr, New York, NY 10031, which is at @ Riverside and 134th St) and unload and pack away a truck containing the club's ride-related su

Floor Pump recommendations

Submitted by EODonnell on Sat, 09/25/2021 - 6:02pm

The head on my Ascent pump is wearing out.  It is hard to get a seal and inflate the tire.  Any recommendations for a new floor pump?  I saw people liked Silca, but their prices are insane...$165 - $295???!!!  Topeak makes a bunch of Joe Blows.  This one is $55 Topeak Joe Blow Sport III High Pressure Floor Pump, 160 PSI.  Options, opinions?

What masterful organization! Expansive, thorough, wholly, unqualifiedly professional.

As for all of you many volunteers, you gave up a gorgeous day to serve the rest of us. And did so bathed in smiles and courtesy and kindnesses. For just one of many, many examples, there's the club president, anonymously serving cookies in Tenafly, comfortable being just one of many, many.

 

Thank you, thank you, from the top on down.  No, no, no: that's wrong...to the top on down!

 

 

The guy with the pink bike you enjoy bullying…

Submitted by vorzap on Sat, 09/25/2021 - 9:42am

Dear bully, I'm sorry you can't handle my choice of pink bike and kit. I do this for my own personal safety reasons and it has nothing to do with sexuality. After I let my NYCC membership lapse I renewed just to post this. Sorry I even signed up for escape New York. Dropping me off the mailing list with the cue sheets was classy. Won't sign up for it again. You win.

Help with A New App To Provide Safer Routes

Submitted by [email protected] on Wed, 09/22/2021 - 4:39pm

Let me know if anyone is interested in testing out their new app and I will send you the link.  ([email protected])  I did mention the heat maps for Strava and RideWithGPS, but it would be nice to help them out.

A favorite peeve of mine continues. Perhaps because I am an ox that is persistently is threatened to be gored.

This is a failure of education mixed with a false sense of security mutli-path users feel when they are separated from motor traffic. Yes, you read me correctly; feel. In the city, we are not apart from motor traffic as we share space with e bikes, e scooters, one wheels, even gas powered 2 wheels jobs of sorts. But this false sense of being safe is undermined by the non-motorized users themselves; for some reason, a sizeable number of people think it is fine to exit or do a U turn without looking around to see who is in front, behind and along side, before executing the maneuver. Thus we have issues of complacency and failure to educate.

Good bike insurance?

Submitted by TylerH on Tue, 09/21/2021 - 9:46am

Hi all,

 

Does anyone have a recommendation on a reputable bike insurance company?  I'm trying to get a rather valuable road bike insured.

 

Thanks!
