Power Bars
I recently bought two boxes of Powerbars (peanut) from Perfromace Bike. I noticed this weekend that the wrapper stated it si made from partially genetic manufactureing. I never saw this before and I have eating them for years.
Accident/emergency in the Minnewaska region yesterday, Sunday?
I was cycling west on 44/55 past the Trapps towards Ellenville and one emergency vehicle after another went by going east.
Anyone on the New Paltz weekend have an idea what was going on?
Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless - thumbs mostly up
After spending maybe an hour trying and failing to successfully inflate a new Hutchinson Fusion 3 tubeless tire on my front rim, I decided to try something a bit different. I've read positive reviews of the Schwalbe Pro One tubeless tire, so I ordered a pair of those. They were a real pleasure to put on the rims. It was almost as easy as putting on regular clinchers. SO MUCH EASIER than fighting the Fusion 3 tubeless! The ride is very comfy - just as nice as the Fusion 3 tubeless.
I did 2 rides with no sealant. Then, when I got home, the front tire had gone soft. There was a tiny pinhole leak in the tire. I put an ounce of Stans sealant into the tire, and since then it's been fine.
MTA eTix, you can now buy tickets for the Hudson line on your cellphone
I just found out about it today by picking out a flyer stuck between my seat and its back on a Hudson line train.
The other 2 lines will be online in the next few months, or so it is projected.
Like current MTA tickets, and unlike NJ Transit, the tickets expire in 2 months if unused. However, the assumption is that you can buy the ticket with the app on the train. One can do this with NJ Transit, a big advantage over breezing on the train and not having a ticket, thus avoiding the surcharge.

Be careful out there.
If you're going to New Palz, this might interest/amuse you. Also if you like the brew of bike-politics.
It's the 16th paragraph, just under the photo of Trump and Mario Cuomo. And then, before that, is the black and white photo taken in New Palz.

New Tappan Zee Bridge Shared Use Path
The New New York Bridge shared use path terminus designs have been selected. Alternative F was selected for the Rockland side. This is the design we lobbied for, although there still is no direct access from Piermont Ave. You can see both designs (Rockland and Westchester) here. It looks like there will be fairly easy direct access coming south from Nyack. Coming north from Piermont, we'll probably have to go into Nyack and turn back south on Franklin St. to access the path.
