You recently saw Lance do it. Now see Greg do it.

Route advice: Poughkeepsie area
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
looking for a registration for the 5 Borough Bike Tour
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
Christy

How does a real, honest-to-god terrorist make a living here? Sell bikes on Craig's list.
Qazi's alleged intention in New York, apparently known to federal authorities, was "to obtain a job, and he was looking for a job in order to support himself and to be able to buy explosives so he could build an explosive." He needed money because his sole source of support, other than trading bikes on Craigslist, was his taxi driver brother.

Seeking commuter bike model advise
I'm recovering from a broken knee, and just now I'm starting to be able to spin my pedals once again. Now I'm looking for a "dream' commuter bike that's easier to pedal over bridges than my fixed-gear, and easier to get in subways and narrow office entrances than my recumbents.
My dream commuter consists of:
- Disk brakes
- Belt drive
- Internal hub gearing with enough range to cruise along at a decent pace and climb the Manhattan Bridge with a weakened knee
- Fenders
- Hub-dynamo lighting up front
- Rear rack or at least the mounts to add one
- Doesn't cost as much as a mortgage payment
