Ride cancelled because of rain.

Has anyone dealt with Continuum Bike Store on Avenue B & 12th Street?   What was your experience with the store e.g. the stock they carry, how helpful and  knowledgeable are the staff,  etc. 

I ran a red light in Central Park (on a Saturday evening), while veering around pedestrians, so YES I was technically in the wrong. Lesson learned! But a $280 fine? I don't think so!!!

I need advice on the best way to defend myself when I go to the hearing. I'd like to have the fine dismissed.

Any advice?

Does anybody know? What's been done in the past? Much appreciate all advice....

"Are you a dentist/tri-geek who lost your totally awesome Parlee road bicycle? Well I just rescued it from a life of deliveries and potholes. Give me the serial, proof of purchase, and or complete and DETAILED description plus the $400 I gave the guy and you can have your baby back.
I really hope to find the owner of the bike because I have enough bikes and I want to do a good thing here."

Hi-ever ride with Timothy McCarthy?  Ever ride with Angel Rivera? I am not sure if they road rollers in the past; BUT they ride like cyclists who DID.  Rollersteach you to be SMOOTH; you get a good workout and learn how to ride smooth and in a straight line.  If you fight with your bike; rollers are the answer.  They are not as prevalent as in the past-many racers still use them in the off months; but they are a great training tool.  On January 19th, The Century Road Club is promoting a fundraiser roller race at: Amity Hall 80 West 4th street.  Go watch!

My name is James Schwabacher. I'm a freshman at American University in Washington, DC. I grew up on Staten Island, where I would frequently bike ride along the board walk. Following my love of cycling, I've decided to join 4k for Cancer in riding 4,000 miles across America this summer. The route is 70 days, beginning in Baltimore, MD and ending in Seattle, WA. Every day we ride between 50 and 130 miles, depending on terrain and route. Along the way, the 4k team seeks to raise cancer awareness and perform community service. Each rider must fund-raise a minimum of $4,500.

The Ride Library's size restriction for PDF files is 5 mb.

When I attempted to save my latest map off Topo! the file was 12 mb. Surely there is a way to limit the size of these files. Does anyone have a clue to solving this problem?

Thanks, HS
