Starting Point for Fall Foliage Rides

Submitted by JDiaz on Wed, 10/09/2019 - 4:49pm

Hello

Why do most of the Fall Foliage rides begin in the Bronx and

and not in a more centralize location such as 72/RSD, 122/RSD or 125 and Lexington Avenue?

The Bronx is not the easiest place to get to on the weekends.

I live in Brooklyn and the Bronx is a long trek.

Could we start in Manhattan and still ride to Westchester.

Also, why no Fall Foliage rides to Rockland county?

 

Thank you

Jose

 

NYC Bike Tickets - What happens if you ignore?

Submitted by Judith on Tue, 10/08/2019 - 8:30am

Wondering what happens if you ignore a NYC bike ticket. I received my first (after a good run for 30 years) for going through a red light on RSD.

I have an MA license which I did not show, but did give my name and MA address. They don't have the license info, and have no real idea who they gave the ticket to, and can't say they verified my identity (especially in full bike gear).

Wondering if anyone has ignored a NYC bike ticket and what has happened next. Do they mail you something? What's the process?

Tedious topic. Thanks for any info. I can't really find anything useful for my situation online. 

odd GWB path message

Submitted by mgeller1 on Mon, 10/07/2019 - 6:59am

This was sent out 34 times

I know the official time is 6 a.m. but during the summer it was routinely open closer to 5:00 a.m (just a guess but perhaps a nod to the earlier sunrise time). Was this a warning to not expect this going forward?

The GWB Sidewalk is open 6am thru 12am daily. [34]

The rider list somehow disappeared.  Here's the link to new listing.  

Is the Van Cortlandt Park path to the Rail Trail now closed?

Or can one still ride through?

Carbon Wheels and Exaust from Rear Carriers

Submitted by NSherran on Mon, 09/30/2019 - 8:40pm

Bicycling Magazine has an interesting article on damage to carbon wheels from the exaust when using rear carriers. I tried to attach the article but did not know how.

Best wishes to Leora Rosenberg, newest member of the Kollarbone Klub

Leora took a spill on a ride Saturday on a very bad piece of pavement in Hartsdale. (Beware Rte 100A/Hartsdale Ave > Knollwood Rd, folks!) A friend took Leora direct to NYU Langone where she was treated for a broken collarbone, sprained wrist, and road rash, and released. Leora's in good spirits and on the mend. Thanks, Leora, for your dedication to cycling and to NYCC.
