Looking for Tandem Rider

Submitted by sheenaiyengar on Tue, 05/31/2016 - 10:56pm

Hi all --

I'm looking for a Tandem parter (or a few) to ride with. I'm pretty experienced, have my own tandem bike, and have been riding for a number of years -- I just did the 5 Boro Bike Tour in May.

Only thing is the rider needs to be the leader - I am blind, so I'll be at the back!

I live around 125 and Broaway, near Columbia, where I teach at the Business School, and I'm up for rides to anywhere, anytime.

Let me know if you're interested and feel free to email me directly: [email protected].

Thanks!

Bike shipping for idiots

Submitted by mledavis on Tue, 05/31/2016 - 9:18pm

We need to ship two bikes to the middle of Iowa for RAGBRAI. I have no idea how one goes about a thing like this. I searched the message board and found a link to Bike Flights - is that still the recommended thing? I just ride over to a bike shop and then ... what happens, exactly?

Thanks in advance.

Ticketing cyclists on River Rd.for speeding

Submitted by RRosenthal on Tue, 05/31/2016 - 8:02pm
Fred Steinberg's post on the "River Road" thread speaks to PIPC cops ticketing cyclists on River Road for speeding and it shouldn't be overlooked or bypassed https://nycc.org/message-board/river-road/79495, but this subject strikes me as so important that I want it to attract the attention of those who think that thread was solely about road closings, which it was until Fred's post.

Route suggestions in/around Niagara Falls

Submitted by [email protected] on Tue, 05/31/2016 - 6:14pm

Hi,

I'm training for the NJ Gran Fondo and I'm taking advantage of the training rides available from Morristown throughout the summer.  However late in August I am taking a family vacation and roadtrip, with a stop around Niagara. Ideally I'd like to get a long'ish ride(for me) 75/80miles -  does anyone have any suggestions for nice scenic and safe routes or local contacts to reach out to?

All suggestions/assistance much appreciated.


Many thanks

john

I was curious today. How much drag is saved by riding in the drops. Seems like a freebie.

Weather Watch for Monday's ride to the Rockaways....
