I am in the market for a new wheelset and am seeking advice. 

I currently have Mavic Elite's which I have been using for the past five years without any issues whatsover.  I am now looking for a performance upgrade (as it seems to be the more convenient, albeit more expensive, way to go than to make the effort to improve my fitness...).  I am a bit overwhelmed by what's out there.

Things I am taking into consideration:

- I am seeking a good all-around wheel (I am not looking for a dedicated climbing or time-trial wheel); I intend to use these wheels for longer club rides (ie. 80-100 miles; 6-10k climbing) and put on appx 5k miles/yr;  I do not intend to race.

Hi Guys, I was wondering if I could ask some advice about the myriad options available within the Garmin Edge range of cyclecomputers...

I'm going to head off soon on my first solo tour and, after seeing someone elses Edge in action, I thought it would make a great replacement for cue sheets... but now I'm not sure which one to get...

As I say, I'd like to be able to upload a direction file of some sort and have it tell me where to go but I'm hearing conflicting information about which models this is possible with.  Does anyone own a 200 or 500 and can they advise if that's possible or is that only possible on the (hugely more expesive!) 800?

Too much rain, more predicted.

Saw Glenn today and he said the 20 percent off sale is still going on. If you're looking for a new bike, see what he might have: PiermontBike.com or 845-365-0900.

Thought I would share this with the club.. just came accross this great company that does custom jerseys.. not too expensive.. scroll down to customize.

Clearly I have not spent enough money on cycling yet this year..

Hi all,

I don't post here often, but I moved up to the Catskills from downtown NYC about 8 months ago, and I've made it my mission to get as many people riding up here as possible.

I ended up with an extra Garmin 800, so I decided to run a little contest, details here:

Hope to see all of you up here at some point, even if it isn't to win the Garmin :-)

NY Times had an interesting article about a company called Ministry of Supply that makes bike commuting dress clothes.

http://www.ministryofsupply.com/

It's dress shirt is supposed to keep one relatively cool.

Anyone try it?

Any brands of bike commuting clothing one recommends for work.

Regarding the candidates for Mayor, does anyone know:

1) Where the candidates stand on the bike share program

2) Where the candidates stand on bicycling in NYC in general

3) What bike changes they would do to Bloomberg's policies

Really last minute! A friend dropped out and I own his ticket, better to sell than dump it.

Send a text message to 646-673-5155 with your name & email (I'm assuming your phone # will read on the ID) sometime before 5am and we'll work it out. 

Anyone looking for a ticket? If so, contact me by email: [email protected] or phone: 212-799-6139
