Does anyone know (I mean know) of a bike shop that sells those little cue sheet clamp-on-a-velcro-strap thingies.  In the past, I've gotten new ones at the SIG orientation, but that's a bit far off. My last one blew away crossing 9W and Palisade at the end of ENY, and I wasn't really in the mood to go back for it.

Thanks in advance,

Peter Storey

Due to an understandable emergency, we had a last minute cancelation from one of our wonderful front greeting table volunteers for tomorrow's meeting. Therefore, I need a "good hearted" volunteer to help me out at the perverbial last minute to help out at the front greeting table. You would need to be at Annie Moore's Restaurant and Pub, 50 E. 43rd St. (bet. Mad. & Vand. Aves.) at 5:30 - 5:45 PM. Ths is a really easy job. Please contact me ASAP at [email protected]. Thanks very much, Eden J. Weiss VP of Programs

Fellow Club Members,  

My name is Neile Weissman and I am running for NYCC President. Read about my background, platform and rationale  on the 2014 Candidate Positions page

Also, my responses to former President Derek Chu's "8 questions" for the Presidential candidates:

1. Do you know how the NYCC Board of Directors functions? 

I've posted an A18  ride 81 miles long with what I expect is about 5200 feet of climbing (most of it before lunch ): Wesley HILLS

After seven years of cycling and running, I pitched myself to Runner's World. While they wouldn't let me mention the NYCC and SIG program by name, I credit the program (and one George Arcarola, leader extrodinnaire) for helping shape the person the publication is featuring:

Before starting our ride today, I explicitly told one of the riders he could not crash. He disobeyed me.

His injuries were minor but it was a first crash for him, he having started riding only 3 mos. ago. (It's always good to get that first one out of the way.) I think he was more unnerved by it than in any great discomfort but he welcomed the proposition of getting him a ride. We flagged down a driver in Piermont and asked would he take the rider and his bike. He did.

That, itself, wouldn't necessarily be noteworthy but for the fact the driver took him to the GWB...when he, himself, was going to Northvale! And the further fact he used to be mayor of Piermont!

"In attendance (at a speech hosted by a lobbyist were) representatives of real estate and energy companies, along with a group that want to buld a velodrome in the city."

(I assume the unnamed person we're interested in is the wealthy philanthropist (and part owner of a Greenwich Village bike shop) Joshua Rechnitz who got ink last year for his proposed Brooklyn velodrome.)

The DOT is looking to reconfigure Morningside Ave. This will slow traffic, which is great...but it leaves out cyclists. This petition calls for the inclusion of bike lanes in the new design. Please consider and sign!
