Hi Everyone!

WNYC (who I work for--though I'm not on this project) is putting together a crowd-sourced map of bike lane obstuctions in the city. The goal is to document and track where and how problems occur, so we can bring awareness and hopefully improve conditions for bikers throughout the city. I figure some NYCCers might be interested.

If you see something blocking a bike lane, could you please snap a picture and send it [email protected]?

Make sure the location feature on your phone or camera is on. And to be doubly-safe, include in the email where you took the photo.

Hi all -- I saw a few threads on this topic, which are a few years old.  So interested in people's recent recommendations on any podiatrists/orthopedists that people like and have a real understanding of cycling-related issues.  Thanks.

such devotion to the craft.

Just a head's up for a one woman off off Broadway, hour and fifteen minute totally bike oriented musical.  I have not heard of the actor, but she was very talented and previously worked in a bike store and was a bike mesenger.  The show is "Bike Shop, The Musical."  It has a short run on 1st Ave. and 10th street.  If you ride your bike to the show you can place it on the stage. It felt great to be so welcomed to a show!

Anyone have any experience and advice for a grizzled cyclist contemplating hip replacement surgery? I realize there will have to be a period of rehab, but in due course do you have any issues? Can I expect to get back to "normal" riding? Thanks!

Could someone point me to a link for the latest club financials.. Or last years ??   TIA

I have a 1998 Litespeed Classic, 8-speed.  I love this frame.  Unfortunately, the Ultegra components are well worn.  The right shifter has been re-built twice.  I guess I could fish around for one online, but the chain and cassette probably need replacing also.  When you add up the cost of new (admittedly undiscounted) parts, it might be… $250 (shifter) + $100 (chain and cassette?
