This year's Tour de France Quiz: An odd history of bike racing.
My new jersey design has a few riders' names on one sleeve. There are the predictable ones, the 5X winners of the Tour and Giro, but far more interesting are other racers of extraordinary courage, commitment, and, yes, oddity. See if you can name them. I'll start with easy ones to build up your confidence. The winner's or winners' prize is at the bottom of this.

GWB path updates, July 2017
Efforts on behalf of wider GWB paths forge ahead! Here's a roundup of recent posts and press.
• Cycling across the GWB can help substantially to reduce demand on the Port Authority's overcrowded mid-town Bus Terminal. See post: Latent Demand
• We criticize the PA for creating the false impression that its proposed enhancements to the GWB paths will improve cyclist safety. See post: Restore the George
GWB South Path still closed 6/29
Same message as yesterday: "The GWB South Sidewalk is closed due to construction. North sidewalk is open. Updates will be posted as they become available."
Any events in CP on July 1st?
I'm planning to start a ride this weekend on Saturday July 1st in CP at the boathouse parking lot. Does anyone know of any known runs or rides that will cause any closure in the park bike route? I checked the CP website and did a search on CP and this date, but nothing seems like a problem (didgeridoo festival, anyone?). What are other sites or methods I may be missing?

Bike organizations in need of bikes?
Hi! Does anyone know of non-profit organizations in the NYC area that would need (and appreciate) a bike donation? I'm getting rid of my 2012 hybrid, and rather than sell it for a couple of bucks, I'd like to donate it to an organization that would make a good use of it. Any suggestions?
