have you tried on current NYCC Verge jerseys. jackets, vests?

Submitted by RLMeyer on Fri, 04/06/2018 - 2:07pm

The jerseys are a "relaxed" cut.  The jackets and vests seem to be a "fitted" cut.

Have you tried these on?  Would you recommend that you go one or two sizes up for the fitted cut?

I seem to be a large in the jersey, would you recommend an XL or 2XL in the jacket and vest.  I dont want too loose but neither do I want pulling under my arms from too tight.

note:  i have seen the charts. I am asking for real world feedback.

thanks

FIXED, THANK YOU FOR THE HELP - - Roboviva rejecting RWGPS route numbers

Submitted by SRodetis on Thu, 04/05/2018 - 11:39pm

 

I've created several new RWGPS routes that have received 8-digit route numbers.

Copy/pasting them into the snuggl.es/roboviva link from our NYCC message board notes - - I keep getting the response  ".... is not a valid RideWithGPS route".   Plus a frowning smiley face.

Any suggestions or work arounds? How do I make it work to get to a pdf/cue sheet?

 

Appreciate suggestions.

Possible Good News on GWB

As of this morning the barriers that narrowed the sidewalk on the NJ side of the bridge have been removed. A crew was sweeping the sidewalk and they told us the barriers would not come back. So, fingers crossed, that hassle may be done with.

Charlie Komanoff, former NYCC member, possibly a past meeting speaker, and, very likely, one of the worlld's most effective, most productive, most important bike advocates, is cited in this op-ed about the failure of Albany to address congestion pricing. (...Not that that's news about that collection of feckless souls that is our State Executive, Assembly and Senate.)

In search of area knowledge . . .

Submitted by PStorey on Wed, 04/04/2018 - 5:16pm

Our good friend, Shep Grinker of Bicycle Workshop in Tenafly (remember the watermelon at ENY? Mmm!), has invited us to participate in a crowdsourced effort to inventory road conditions and similar riding considerations for an area that extends roughly from Grandview-on-Hudson to Rockland Lake and west to almost West Nyack. The basic idea is that you drop a pin along a stretch of road you know, which opens a dialog box in which you can identify road conditions and make useful comments about what riders can expect to find there. It's actually kinda cool.

Shep and the organizers would be grateful for any help you can lend to the effort. The link to the survey is:

Titanium Bike Recommendation

Submitted by BJalan on Mon, 04/02/2018 - 1:32pm

My very good friend is looking to but a Titanium bike. He is leaning towards MOOTS. What is your view on Moots and/or any other brand you would recommend and any dealer in the city/Brooklyn who would have a good selection of titanium bikes in stock. Thank you very much.

Laps around Central Park

Submitted by shaferm on Sun, 04/01/2018 - 11:32am

Hi,

Does anyone who lives around Central Park want to do some early morning laps with me? I am in the C-sig (group 1) but I don't expect to ride in a group for these laps. I just need some motivation to show up at Central Park at 5:30/6. Let's watch the sunrise together.
