Anyone cycle in Russia recently? I remember Carol W and Adrienne B rode from Moscow to St Petersburg several years ago, but how about in past year or two and in Moscow specifically? Are there good bike shops to rent from? Bike tour organizers?

Am an NYCC member and find that I am unable to do the sign up online though I am logged into my account. The webpage says that the 2011 B-sig signup is available to me but when I click on it, I am taken to the B-sig info page where there is no place to sign up. Does anyone know what I need to do?

Tried emailing the B-Sig contact email on the page - [email protected] - but my email bounced back saying the contact does not exist!

Thanks,
Sree

More snow! More ice! We're going snowshoeing on Thursday! Care to join us? [email protected]

Hi Everyone,

I'm in my 20's and would love to learn how to bike. Are there any resources in the NY area that help people like me to get started during this time of year?

Thank you!
I hope to join some the events soon.

Very best,
Marina

"...The first issue--whether cyclists must obey the orders of law enforcement officers--was central to the "motion to dismiss" hearings for Tony and Ryan. As the Court held, if the cyclist hasn't broken a traffic law, then the cyclist can't be lawfully arrested, and the order to pull over is itself unlawful. Therefore, if the order is unlawful, the cyclist is not required to obey the order, and can't be arrested for failure to comply. Now, this is the law in Ohio, but it is based on 4th Amendment jurisprudence, so the jurisprudence in other states should be similar. If somebody knows of contradictory 4th Amendment jurisprudence in another state, please let me know...."

the weather gods don't want us to ride.
