River Road Ride Cancelled this Morning

Submitted by Cmoore on Thu, 10/20/2011 - 5:20am

We are still getting a bit of precipitation in my neighborhood, and the roads are pretty wet. No go today.

Isn't that our own Dolores McKeough?

Thursday Morning Central Park laps

If it is actually raining at 5:00 AM the ride will be officially cancelled. Let's hope that the forecast for "few showers" means showers somewhere else.

Road ID?

Submitted by JOlson on Wed, 10/19/2011 - 1:38pm

There is a product on the market called "Road ID", heavily advertised in BICYCLING  magazine and probably other places, too. In one version, it is just a bracelet which gives your name, address,  and contact information of next-of-kin, friend, etc.. But the one that they push is tied in electronically to a site which contains your medical history, accessible by internet or phone (don't ask me how this works) to further data (e.g., medical history, allergies. meds, etc.) via a password and username on the back of the Road ID.

Re: Over Dues: A Case for A Bump Up in Membership Fee

Submitted by MBruckner on Wed, 10/19/2011 - 11:45am

Hi All,

I wanted to gauge people's thoughts about the elimination of the couples' membership option. In my family, I am the cyclist and my fiancee is the runner. To a certain extent, I run because of her and she bikes because of me. I've signed her up for a membership the last few years because it was only marginally more expensive to do so. I feel that I get excellent value for my membership fee and am happy to pay $30 for it. However, I'm unlikely to sign up my fiancee for a $30 membership and she almost surely won't pay for it herself.  Obviously other couple dynamics are different and I'm curious:

Teen who killed cyclist from behind in Seattle gets only $42 ticket

Submitted by DCuperstein on Tue, 10/18/2011 - 9:49pm

Teen drove onto the shoulder and struck and killed cyclist John Przychodze. According to Kirkland Police Detective Allan O’Neill unless a person’s driving recklessly, they’re intoxicated, (on) drugs or alcohol, then there’s really no criminal charges to be made. More info here.

If someone leaves a loaded gun accessible to a toddler and the toddler kills someone, the gun owner is responsible for the accident. When will the United States charge drivers according to the deadly weapon they have in their hands?
