Double Dismount requirement for the New TZ Bridge? (UPDATE)
Details here: https://biketarrytown.org/tappan-zee-bridge/
We don't even have to dismount for the nearly 90-year-old GWB, why would they design this into a brand new bridge with a 13-foot-wide crossing deck path?
Update: SUCCESS!! The swing gates are no longer part of the plan. But there's still advocacy that needs to be done:

Tire Puncture Prevention - what do you use?
Hi everyone,
Pretty new to cycling and this forum so its a pleasure to be here! Oh and its my birthday today haha.
Ive been riding a ton of miles since I started getting into cycling a few months ago and I experienced my first puncture. Big peice of glass on a rainy cold day... it was miserable.
Anyways, Ive since been looking into options to reduce the chance of a flat and I wanted to ask what you guys use? Certain tire brand? Tire liners? Injected sealants?
From amazon I am considering getting:
New Gear
Awesome that the 2018 gear is available for purchase now. At this time, is there any chance that additional items such as bib shorts, winter bib shorts, winter bib knickers, winter bib tights ... will be made available at anytime? The SIG kicks off shortly and other than everyones anticipation and excitement, we rarely have those warm spring mornings to keep us all motivated.

Garmin Edge 1000
I am trying to download rides and can't even get started because the message to plug in my device persists, even though it is plugged in and I tried several ports. Yes, I downloaded Garmin Express and yes, the Garmin is on. And I'm using the proper cable. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
CANCELED --- Dumpling (Plus) Series - Tour de Gnocchi
Sorry - the weather doesn't make for a fun ride today.
Orthopedist
Can anyone recommend an orthopedist for a knee problem that accepts insurance. Having some pain behind the patella primarily. Presently doing ice, NSAIDs and easy strength building for quads. If that doesn’t work I need a doc.
Thanks.
CANCELLED -- River Road to Market and Back
Reluctantly, I'm going to have to cancel. With the wind chill, the temps are in the teens, and wind gusts could make it colder than that. Just too damn cold.
PSA: River Road conditions for Saturday AM 2/3
As of late Friday afternoon, River Road is good to ride. About a mile north of the gate at Forbidden Hill, there is a large puddle covering about half the road... use the other half. Otherwise, there are just a few small frozen puddles on the northern section - easily avoidable if you ride with your head up.
