Any owner of inexpensive folding bike for commuting?

Submitted by April on Sun, 09/07/2025 - 2:39pm

Thinking about getting an inexpensive 'run-about' bike for going up and down town (Manhattan).

Why a folding bike? I now live in Westchester. Metro North doesn't allow regular size bike on the train during rush hours. Though folding bikes are allowed.

I've waited this long to take the mental plunge to folding bikes because I've been getting by with a Citibike membership instead of bringing my own bike in. But thanks to the infinite wisdom of whoever operates Citibike, there're now tons of electric bikes which requires extra cost to take out. Yet for those of us who can actually pedal a mechanical bike for the princely sum of ~$200/y? Most often than not, there're no non-electric bikes to be found by 5:20!

Can anyone recommend a brand of knee warmers for women that actually stay up?

Thanks in advance.

Bike Travel in December?

Submitted by DavidM on Tue, 08/26/2025 - 12:14pm

hi -- I'm looking for bike travel options for December. I'm traveling solo, so my wife would prefer I travel with a group -- guided or otherwise. Any recommendations? Is Trek good at this? Can I trust the bike provided by a tour company or should I suck it up and bring my own?

I'm open to traveling with others from NYCC. I'm a 160 mile per week rider, FTP 250+, B22

Thanks!

 

David!

Do you know anything about the killing of a cyclist in Yorktown Aug. 14?

Police conclusion holding him responsible seems unsupported. Read follow up questions in the linked article. If you have any info, please write bikeadman@g...

Cleat placement

Submitted by ERayvid on Sun, 08/24/2025 - 1:34pm

New bike, new pedals and new shoes!

I don't need a full fit at the moment, I just need help placing the cleats. I've seen all the videos and just want to pay someone to do it. Where can I go in Manhattan for this? 

Thanks in advance!
