My regular ophthalmologist said my case is "more challenging" than the typical (very near sighted)

I'm not liking that kind of statement. Would like to get a second opinion.

One of those issues for older people. As cyclist, decent vision is quite valuable.

Perhaps someone have had good experience with a surgeon that you can share?

NYCC's annual Escape New York 2017 is on September 16, and we need volunteers to make this event happen!  There are many ways you can help out -  as Marshals, SAG, Route marking, Provisions, Registration and at the rest stops and Sakura Park.  Go to the ENY Volunteer Sign-up tab under ESCAPE NY and follow the link to sign up.  

We're looking forward to seeing you there!

Please send your ideas to [email protected], the e-address of the man whose 70th birthday it is today.

Are there any local bike shops selling NYCC jerseys?

I salute their new editor in chief Leah Flickinger for it.  41% of 4 times a week cyclists have been hit by cars;  stats on harassment and aggresive behavior of drivers, drivers distracted by texting, 2016 cycling deaths: Boston 0, New York 18, L.A.22....FL is a "deadly state" for cyclists, etc.

Elewhere in this issue there is a interesting piece on the effectivenes of  using lights (front & rear) by cyclists.  I have started using them on some long distance  daytime solo rides and the truck and car drivers seem to be giving me more room.

The C SIG is on for today.  You might want to bring a rain jacket just in case.

See you there.

We are a go! Have a great ride. 

All other details remain the same
