Brooklyn Bridge alert for tonight!

Submitted by DHudes on Mon, 06/08/2015 - 1:32pm

There is a Poetry Walk tonight at 6:30 PM. I expect major trouble getting across the bridge. http://gothamist.com/2015/06/08/bill_murray_poetry_walk.php

I'm going to leave work early to attempt to avoid this.

Chamois creme recs?

Submitted by BHafkin on Mon, 06/08/2015 - 11:09am

I've been using Beljum Budder and love it but it seems to have gone out of business. What I liked about it is that it seemed to last a long time. Anyone have a brand they love? Thanks! 

With most of the people involved wearing black and yellow jerseys? But the only writing on the jerseys visible from across the street was "2015" on their sleeves? This was apparently The Ride to Conquer Cancer.

I wasn't out on the new members' rides, but also happened to be riding through this part of Westchester.

Hello —

I'm traveling from the city up to the Catskills area (Woodstock, Shandaken, Phoenicia, Tannersville, etc) — all stops that Trailways Bus services — during the summer months.

Has anyone traveled with their bikes on this specific Trailways line leaving from Port Authority on a weekend (say Friday afternoon/evening), returning to the city on Sunday afternoon? Has it ever been so crowded that there was a danger of not getting the bike on board?

Any pointers and recommendations regarding the safe travel and transport would be helpful. Thanks. — John

Thanks and congrats to the Newcomers' organizers, volunteers and ride leaders

501 Paving

Submitted by Cyclegalnycc on Sun, 06/07/2015 - 2:54pm

I was thrilled to discover today that 501 has been newly repaved from E. Clinton north to almost Broadway.  What a treat!  Unfortunately, the rest of the way north still sucks.  Hopefully it will follow suit soon!

Beach day at Rye, anyone?

Submitted by CWood on Sat, 06/06/2015 - 4:08pm

I need some sun and saltwater, so may hang out at Rye Beach after lunch Sunday and take Metro North home.

Anyone else interested in some quality beach time?

Also, anyone know what the locking situation is there--can you bring your bike onto the beach, or lock it in close view?

My choice of locks is: 1/4" cable honesty lock, or 1.5-pound Krypto cable. I'll be leaving the 8-pound Krypto chain at home, but with a titanium bike at stake, it's tempting....

 

Watch this.
