Cars outta Central and Prospect Parks? A good, strong, definite, "Maybe."

Submitted by RRosenthal on Mon, 05/25/2015 - 7:39pm

A couple years ago I teased on the MB that a source told me that Bloomberg would declare CP car-free before he left office. Maybe you noticed he didn't. Now I can, or at least will say who that source was: Doug Blonsky, head of the Central Park Conservancy and a friend of Bloomberg and who, so he said, had Bloomberg's ear, and Bloomberg, his.

Dave Letterman's relationship to the NYCC

Submitted by RRosenthal on Sun, 05/24/2015 - 1:37pm

Last week's Great Big Story wasn't ISIS or Syria. It wasn't the California Drought. It was Dave Letterman's retirement. Did you know--no, of course you didn't--one of our "A" riders was a writer for Letterman for many years?

Looking for feedback. Steel vs. aluminum for a commuter

Submitted by Chris O on Sat, 05/23/2015 - 10:13pm

I need to replace my commuter bike. Giant has some really cheap aluminum frames, but I'm thinking about going with steel, even if it's more money. My last steel bike took twenty years of riding abuse and being locked to sign posts. I worry about the long term durability of aluminum, as well as the attractiveness of it locked up. I only have a couple of years experience with aluminum. 

I welcome feedback. Thanks
