Some clown drafted off me for over 30 minutes while I was out for a ride on the LIE Service Road this morning.

This 10+ stretch was interrupted very briefly only when we went up the incline just after Post Road.  (Little does he know that it's not much of an accomplishment to pass the Big Fella on an incline.)  It was then that I saw that the asshat wasn't even wearing a helmet.

When I turned left in order to start my trip home he continued on straight without even so much as an acknowledgement or a "thank you".

I am re-posting this listing for free equipment from a friend.

Please contact him on the craigslist link provided below. I can't help with it, and anyways tomorrow I will be walking my bike up Roaring Brook Road.

At the dedication of the newest section of the South County Trailway last week, Westchester County Exec Astorino announced that the county is purchasing necessary easements and will soon begin design of the last remaining piece ....presently a nasty section that takes cyclists off the path and through industrial Elmsford.

Worth Reading if you ever plan to bike in Prospect Park.

FYI - Conrad's Bike Shop now offers City Cruisers for rent.  Monday - Saturday as they are closed on Sunday.

I have entered a new ride plan onto www.mapmyride.com  It is listed as, 'Princeton to New Hope' and provides the route for a ride I have done myself a couple dozen times in years gone past.

I need some help working out the hundreds of other details, which include taking NJTransit from Penn Station to Princeton Junction, and riding to the Borough (not sure this would be a good idea as roads into the Borough are a bit treacherous), or taking the Dinky connector train from Princeton Junction into the Borough; but this might be tricky as the Dinky is only one or 2 cars and might be cramped with a bunch of bikes.

Also, I have never lead a ride before, so I will need to enlist the aid of an experienced co-leader.

looking to upgrade my wheels and have been doing alot of research. 

Im 6' 190lbs riding a '12 Felt S22

Was thinking of going for the Planet X 50/50 to test out the carbon tubular aero thing, but in doing my research, have also been looking at just a 30mm clincher with better hub/spokes.

here is what i have been thinking about:
