A shop I use in south Jersey has a used bike I'm considering. The wheels come with a spoke pattern I'm not familar with:

What do you call this pattern? I assume the low number os spokes reduce weight, but can I expect this kind of wheel to survive real world riding in and around NYC?

Thanks

I am putting a ride together 5/21-27 but I may shorten it to 23-27 to keep it lower cost. If interested, email me - great riding available at C, B and A level! [email protected] 

I was hit by a car door, broke my nose, finger, tore my rotator cuff. Driver and passenger left without stopping.  I got the plate and reported to NYPD.   Anyone recommend a lawyer in NYC?

Just a random observation that ride listings for Saturday vs Sunday are at about a 6:1 ratio.

Why?

 A friend (no, really!) Is looking to do a self-supported tour this summer and asks whether one wheeled or two wheeled trailers are preferred. I have a vague recollection that heavy duty tourists preferred the BOB trailer because of its single wheel (it tracked better ), but I’d be curious to know what the current thinking is.

I've been seeing ads for a lot of these lately. They seem decent from the advertisement descriptions.

On the surface, they seem more environmentally friendly than Co2 cartidges and from what I've seen can inflate up to three tubless tires (and seat them as well) from fully flat. 

Does anyone have any real life experience with these gadgets? And is there one you woudl recommend over another?

Thanks in advance!

I wanted to raise everyone's attention to a great nonprofit organization called the Palisades Parks Conservancy (PPC), where I was just made Board President.  PPC is the nonprofit partner of the Palisades Interstate Parks Commission (PIPC), and the organization's role is to support 20 parks and 9 historic sites on the west side of the Hudson River.  The parks include some of our cycling favorites -- Harriman State Park, Rockland Lake, Bear Mountain, Lake Minnewaska, River Road (which is actually named Palisades Interstate Park), Storm King, and more.  I've always thought that, as a cyclist, PPC is the organization our community has always wanted but didn't know existed!

Any recommendations for a hotel in May for the Tour rides?  I know it starts 

at the Parc neat the Olympic Parc. Thank you. Brenda
