I know we have some seasoned racers in this club.  Anyone recognize anybody from this set?

Hats off to new member Steve Liechti, who on only his 2nd ride with NYCC, kindly took it on is own initiative/kindness/skill to jump first to turn around and go back to help a stranded (dang mechanical!) rider from our Hudson Waterfront group. Steve's also a super fun person, and a great addition to our club (look for him in the SIGs this coming season).
 

Post op - - Steve and I helped fix the issue, stayed with the rider, helped refix a subsequent issue (ever have one of those...LOL), and navigated to meet up with the group at the planned (yummy one, at that!) pit stop.

It warmed my heart to see non-leaders step up so handily. It does "take a village".

Best to all,

Susan

Has anyone else noticed messengers transporting citibikes on trailers?  Anyone know who makes these?  They look like roof rack arms welded to surly trailers, maybe?

If you've ridden today (Saturday 1/11) how are the roads in NJ? Thanks in advance!

You need to check this out.

This could be a game changer in bringing cycling to the masses

I bike exclusively pre-dawn 3-4x/week for about 2 hours each ride.  Of course I wear a reflective vest and ankle bands plust the front light and rear lights.

My wife gave me some vintage Energizer Wheelie spoke lights (circa 2002) and I have been using them for the past two months.  One went south and I sent it back for a warranty replacement - good luck with that.  

So, should I purchase some similar type replacements?  At first they seemed like a novelty to me but after using them for a few months I do believe they add to my visibility on the road.  Nite Ize Spokelit is the most similar replacement.  

Rain, rain, rain.

does anyone know or know where I can find instructions how to install a vintage front brake Shimano 600 series. I can't figure out how to attach the cable to the brake pivots. 

Please join us at this coming Tuesday's NYCC January 14th meeting. If, somehow, you have not seen the promotion on the home page, here is a special invitation just for you.

Just wondering if anyone can report the conditions. Is it clear of ice and snow?
