Once again the Bronx River Parkway will be closed to cars and open to bicycles certain Sundays this spring & summer. And now you can ride up from Manhattan via the High Bridge & University Blvd. (still urban, but bike lanes nearly all the way).

Hello 2-wheeled friends,

I've been using Strava's iPhone app with a heart rate monitor to track my rides.  Unfortunately, it's been consistently stopping recording all data within about 30 minutes after I begin.  Usually this happens somewhere on the West Side bike path, or on Riversde Drive.  The best that Strava's support people could do was suggest that I stop using the autopause feature. I complied, and nothing changed (i.e., I got the exact same result).

Anyone have a similar experience/suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

We'll do our ride starting at 11:00.

The C SiG will ride today. Meet at your scheduled starting times and locations and bring a lightweight rain jacket.

B SIG graduation ride is ON. Bring a light rain jacket (to insure that it won't rain).

Let's do this!

Fred

We are definitely meeting & riding tomorrow. The morning may bring some questions about just how the weather plays out, but the current forecast (though volatile with possible drizzles) is good enough for riding. With good luck we will be dry all day. 

So, see you at 7:30a at Grand Central. Get there a bit early (10-15m) if you can

Christy Guzzetta asked me share with you the great news that earlier this week the Transportation Committee of Manhattan's Community Board 8 voted to approve three pairs of East West bike lanes in the E. 70s and 80s. The issue now goes to the full board which is set to meet on Wednesday, May 18.

Time: 6:30 pm

Location: New York Blood Center at 310 E. 67 Street.

As for new buildings, a zoning amendment passed in 2009 requires the provision of one bike space for every two units in structures of 10 apartments or more. The law also applies to substantially enlarged buildings and to those being converted to residential use.
