For all vintage bike afficinados: for the first time L'Eroica is being run in the Peak District in England, June 20-22. Registration is now open. I signed up and might also do the original L'Eroica Italia in October. 
Both events is open only to riders of vintage (read: pre-1984 steel frame bikes with toe clips, down tube shifters...)

Hi All,

I’m the current organizer for the NYC Tour de Cure, a charity bike ride to benefit the American Diabetes Association.  I recently accepted another position at the Red Cross and will be leaving the Tour shortly, but I wanted to do my due diligence and spread the word about this opening.  It’s a demanding but fun role and you get to work with great volunteers, many of whom are NYCC members.

Check out the description below.  If you’re interested email me at [email protected].

I admit it, I need to find a different winter sport or bite the bullet and join the indoor trainer crew... Against better knowledge I went out today in a bad case of cabin fever. Gorgous sunshine and (for someone almost Scandinavian) balmy temperatures got the better of me. 25 miles later I felt like a pickle and looked like a pillar of salt. My bike sulked all the way back home. I spend 2 hours cleaning and lubricating my bike. Not sure if we're on speaking terms yet - right now I hear him whisper to my roadbike in the hallway. Probably nothing nice. 

Below: a link to an article in the Sunday, Jan. 26th New York Times concerning a dispute as to whether the former Fulton Fish market should be changed into a public food market or a hotel complex. Nowhere does the article address the fate of the East River bicycle path adjacent to the now unused fish market building.

Can anyone confirm that bikes can still use the short segment of the Palisades to connect Seven Lakes Drive from Tiorati Lake Rec Area to access Perkins Memorial Drive/Bear Mountain?

Thanks.

Hi.

I see the link for requesting a new password. Is there a way to set it to take the password of my own choosing?

Thank you.
