does anyone use a combo computer and light mount on their handlebars?

Submitted by RLMeyer on Thu, 05/04/2017 - 9:15pm

I want to mount my cycle computer on my handlebar with a light underneath it.  I saw one option on Amazon for a K-Edge mount and a Light and Motion adapter and light.  Has anyone used a Light and Motion front light?  Barfly makes a cheaper plastic version fo the mount. Are there other options out there, especially for the adapter and the front light ?

The saddest story you'll ever hear about riding a stationary bike.

Is anyone riding the May 20 ride to Montauk? I was looking for someone to ride with at a B16 or 17 pace. Feel free to email if you'd like to ride together.

River Road: First Seasonal Ride But Not Expecting This

Submitted by RSchmon on Thu, 05/04/2017 - 10:55am

A car flipped on its side on River Road attempting to avoid hitting a squirrel--according to the driver (I was told this unsolicited by one of the first responders).  I arrived on the scene at about 5:45PM yesterday afternoon shortly after the incident occurred and I've posted a short video of the aftermath here: https://vimeo.com/215942766

If you get a message about an NYCC sharing a document with you: DO NOT CLICK IT

Submitted by peter.waltman@g... on Wed, 05/03/2017 - 3:49pm

It appears to be some sort of spear-phishing attack that I and a few other people have accidentally clicked on (it looks genuine).

In my case, my wife said that she got an email "from" me within minutes. I'm not sure if this is an issue for those without gmail accounts, but do not click the link if you've gotten a message that I have "shared" a document with you, and set yourself up with 2-factor authentication ASAP.

UPDATE: This is an article describing the attack: https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/05/google-docs-phish-worm-grabs-yo... Thanks to Mrunal for the link

Who has white cycling shoes?

Submitted by velofellow on Wed, 05/03/2017 - 3:47pm

I am in the market for a new pair of cycling shoes and am toying with the idea of getting a white pair.  Obviously, fit and price are more important than color, but maybe I'm just getting a little bored with basic black.  (Neon green or orange shoes are right out.)  Are they hard to clean after getting caught a nasty downpour?  Do nylon mesh areas come clean?  Thanks.

Submitted by RRGilbert on Tue, 05/02/2017 - 10:38pm

I need a ride leader to post and manage the ride of volunteers to Pascask Park in Westwood, NJ.  The crew will need to come alittle early to help with set up, help serve the food and then clean up.  I would need about 6-8 in the crew.  Thank you!!
