Which shops have you found to be good at setting up canti brakes? They can be fiddly and things like straddle wire height matter a lot to getting things just right. Who has nailed it for you in the past?

Sunday AM It happened on S Little Tor.  According to the Rockland Times, "Several  of the bicyclists (chased and) eventually boxed  the driver on  N Main St and stopped him"  The group  cycles around the area every Sunday and  the Times didn't mention anything about a bike club affiliation.    Misdemearnor charges against the driver might be upgraded to a felony.  The victim was taken to Nyack Hospital and subsequently was transferred to  Westchester Medical Center which has more facilities for treating and rehabiltating  patients with moderate to serious injuries.  He is expected to remain there for at least several more days and have  heavy rehab after.

Dear all, I need to get to the Kingston area from the Poughkeepsie train station around rush hour on Friday.

What is 9W like on that stretch? Should I shoot north on 9W, or take smaller roads?

Google maps wants me to go five miles out of my way and swing west (the hilly direction, away from the Hudson) to take the Wallkill Valley Rail trail. I don't think so.

Any advice gratefully accepted,

-Erica

A friend wants to ride in the 5 Borough Bike Tour this weekend - too late, he says, registration is closed.  Perhaps you have an entry pass and can't go or know someone who has one and can't go and would like to sell it.  If so, please email me at the icon  above.  

Thanks
