The survey says?

Yes, Pedestrians are the major cause of accidents between them and automobiles.

The survey says?

Yes, 19 of top 20 most dangerous cities for pedestrian and car accidents are South of

the mason dixon line.

I can only tell you from my experience that the survey is pretty much correct even in NYC, but most automobile drivers need to learn to signal or look before then turn. Of course Cyslists are the worst

which we all know.already.

I would like to ride to Dobbs Ferry tomorrow.  I live on the UWS and was hoping someone can help with a route.

Looking at Google maps it looks like I should head up the S County Trailway.  Is that a paved path and therefore OK for a road bike (which is all I have)?

And what is the best way to get to the start of the Trailway in Van Cortlandt Park from the UWS?

Thanks

SUNDAY 7/17, B17+/60, SPF #3 “Lillinonah”

START: 7:30 AM at Grand Central 

FINISH: 5:15 PM at Bridgeport, CT Metro North

LEADERS: Michael Notaro, Neile Weissman

WHAT: We train up to Hudson Valley, ride east to Roxbury for lunch, then south to Bridgeport for the train home.   Mountaintop vistas, nature preserves, lake communities, posh estates.

TERRAIN: Very hilly.  About ten miles hard pack.

For those of you who will join us riding The Knot on Saturday, I've mapped out the route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/545404

63 miles, nearly 6,000 feet of vertical.

I just bought a new bike and replaced the Shimano Dura-Ace with SRAM Red.  So i'm selling the BRAND NEW Dura-Ace parts.  Never been used, didn't even lay my fingers on them.  I have them all neatly packaged in the SRAM boxes with all cables etc.  I'd like to deal green and locally and avoid shipping these beautifully lightweight products (although I'm sure the shipping costs would be pennies!)  For sale I have the following Dura-Ace components;

- Dura-Ace Shifters - Model ST-7900 - 367 grams - $475 (retails over $600 + tax) 

- Dura-Ace Front Derailleur - Model FD-7900 - 66 grams - $100 (retails at $115 + tax)

- DuraAce Rear Derailleur 20 speed - Model RD-7900 - 165 grams- $220 (retails at $250 + tax)

I would appreciate it if anyone could remind me of the name and address of the mail order dealer in NJ who has good prices on tires, etc.  Thanks.

I am spending weekends in Southampton through end of September and would be interested in connecting with others who are cycling out there. Anyone interested in riding 60-80 miles on Saturday or Sunday? A pace.

Cheers,

Peter

Is anyone from NYC going out to Colorado for the Colorado Rocky Mountain Bicycle Tour during the 2nd week of August?  www.crmbt.com.  If so, it would be nice to coordinate some training and perhaps travel logistics as well.

I did this tour in 2007 and it was a fantastic and well-supported experience.  Smaller and better supported, and at a better time of year, than the other week long Colorado tours in June.  Usually more interesting courses as well.

What is the dress code for tomorrow's 75th Gala?

A friend of mine was cycling in Central Park 2 weeks ago Tuesday night June 28th and was in a serious accident. His family has asked me to post this to see if anyone saw anything as they do not know have any information on what occured. Any information would be appreciated.
