FTSE 100 companies emerge as new breed of bike activist

Submitted by NWeissman on Sun, 03/22/2015 - 11:41pm
For decades, the main advocates for cycle lanes in Britain tended to be committed activists, often left-leaning types with impassioned opinions and oil-stained trouser cuffs. Now a new and more unexpected breed of bike activist has emerged: FTSE 100 companies.

Women's Cycling Program - Party for EVERYONE!

Submitted by Slugger on Sun, 03/22/2015 - 10:54am

I am super excited to be a part of Bicycle Habitat's Women's Cycling Program starting up this spring. Our goal is to take women through the entire lifecyle of having a bike - maintenance, fit, clinics, nutrition, skills...and obviously, rides! The ambassadors have a huge range of experience, from a bike fitter, mechanic, triathlete, mountain biker (that's me!), several racers, recreational riders, and commuters. To kick off the program, we invite all women (from "do I remember where my bike is?" to "gotta go defend my QOM, be right back!") to join us on a ride this coming Saturday, March 28. We have rides for all levels, from the equivalent of a short C ride to a pretty challenging cruise up 9W.

Zoom into Google Maps. It is virtually there.

I wonder if you can get a vegan pizza there?

C-SIG Meeting & Ride

Submitted by CWaaser on Fri, 03/20/2015 - 9:50pm

The meeting will take place no matter what tomorrow.  Sign-in begins at 9:00 at PS 9 on W. 84th St. between Columbus & Amsterdam (closer to Columbus).

We are planning to ride.  Since we won't start the ride until about 12:30, we hope conditions will be good.  Roads may still have some wet spots, but ice & snow should have melted.  Bring your bike; dress for riding in chilly weather.

That said, in the morning when you are coming to the school, there may still be icy patches on the roads.  Exercise great caution if riding to the school.  You can take your bike on the subway.  The #1 train stops at 86th & Broadway; the C train stops at 86th & Central Park West.

Hopefully this is the last winter storm. We've been hibernating long enough already.
Ride safe on Saturday if you venture out there.
