I'm going to keep a beater bike in the basement of my building, and rather than bring a bike pump with me each time I go down there I'd like to just leave one there.  However, I am quite certain that anything I leave there will grow feet quickly enough.  

Can anyone recommend a relatively cheap (say, less than $40) floor pump which can be locked easily enough with a cable lock?  Basically I'll just lock the pump to my bike - I'm looking to make it inconvenient enough to steal that people will hopefully leave it alone.

Thanks,

John F

... who's in your club?

Every once in a while, Richard Rosenthal posts a notice about the accomplishments of some of our members. We've several writers who have done work for the Grey Lady, postal service workers, lawyers (even partners at major firms), teachers, photographers, civil servants (the ones who do great work, and receive no credit), doctors (heck, we even have a medical director at a major NYC hospital), gifted chefs, event coordinators (for BIG events, like the US Open), artists, accomplished musicians, Googlers (or whatever they're called), at least one X-Games gold medalist, even humble, or not so humble, retailers, and others I'm too forgetful to mention. And these are only the ones I've ridden with!

Riding back from the Market on Monday(playing hookey from work sort of)saw a nesting bald eagle a couple of miles south of the end of the descent from the police station.  Maybe 1 1/2- or so; on the river side of the road-someone was there photographic it-which is how I caught sight.  Saw the similar last year so must be a regular.   Not something you get to see very frequently so-maybe you might take river road with the hope of seeing it.

There was an article in the 4/12/14 New York Times about luminescent bikes being sold by Pure Fix Cycles, which has some outlets in New York City.  I tried to paste the link to the article, but the message board wouldn't let me.

Lance in bike shop with cap and apron plus bike stand. 2 minute plus video. Belittles his 7 time accomplishment of a certain bike race. Doesn't believe in valve caps(?) Quite straightforward and instructive. Enjoy, * Alfredo *

It's raining; the ride is cancelled.

I have several gently used jerseys that I would like to donate.

If you know of an organization I could send them to I could use the contact information.

(Ed Fishkin: if you can use them, they're yours. LMK)

Thanks, Bill

I read the book some time ago and really enjoyed it. Now there is a film of the book. I did not know this till yesterday when my wife presented me with two tickets for a showing next week at the Tribeca Film Festival. I think Richard Moore is going to be around some nights for a Q&A. I think he's a fine writer. His other cycling book that I'm aware of is a biography of quirky Scottish climber Rpbert Millar, a top read also in my opinion.

As a somewhat related cycling film aside I believe the Paul Kimmage documentary was slated for a Spring 2014 release but haven't seen any new info on it lately. Anybody hear anything?

Can anyone suggest a bike route from Manhattan to Robert Moses State Park or, if that is not possible, to Bay Shore?

Thanks in advance.
