Right now the plan is just to follow the Google Maps directions.  Does that link look like a reasonable route?  It's almost all trails: west side bike path -> Putnam Trail -> South County Trail -> North County Trail.

This is the second ride organized by Long Island Randonneurs.  Starts and ends in Bethpage, goes out to Orient Point.  The lead group in the LIRando 200K last month finished with a 16 MPH average page (including 2 ferry trips!). There is a train, but let me know if you are driving and can provide a lift.  Registration closes Tuesday 6/18.

On behalf of those wait listed who didn't come, may I express my befuddlement at your lack of consideration...one of you a repeat offender.

Hi folks,

Today I got a flat. The inner tube was previously patched and now I'm wondering is it ok to use another patch on the new puncture to reuse the tube a second time, or am I pushing my luck here?

Thanks.

This seems like a very useful smartphone app. http://seeclickfix.com/apps

You can take a picture of a road hazard and it will automatically send the pic the appropriate municipal authority.

I'm considering purchasing this bike as I'm tired of traveling with my road bike and paying some of the crazy costs. Anyone have feedback on the ease of breaking it down and putting it together. And the quality of the ride of the steel version.

First of all, congrats to all the C-Sigges that graduated this past Tuesday at Annie Moore's.  :)

I am looking to ride and familiarize myself with other routes in the Ride Library and have submitted a compressed schedule for C-SIG rides.  Please find the "Compressed C-Sig Redux" series of rides on Saturday and Sunday in the near future once they have been approved. 

Hope to see you there!

The comments are somewhat entertaining.

NY mag might've pulled the video, Streetsblog might still have it up.

It's two guys driving nearly identical cars fighting for a parking spot on the UES, with a Seinfeld-esque slap fight thrown in.

Can someone knowledgeable about the GWB construction to be started in 2014 talk about how bicycle (and pedestrian) crossings will be affected?
