Bike insurance
I'm shopping around for bike insurance - full coverage needed for my ride - "just in case."
Can anyone suggest a plan / provider?
Thanks!
So you think you've ridden a lot this year?

The Lost Art Of The Group Ride
http://carolinacyclingnews.com/2011/09/01/lost-art-of-the-group-ride/
^^^This.
Read it. Please.
If I were the sort of person who prayed I would be down on my knees palms a-facing and praying -- hard -- that everyone in the NYCC would not only read this article, but take it to heart and strive to incorporate it into their cycling.
But I'm not, so... I guess I can still hope.
Thank you Peter Wilborn for being able to succinctly articulate what I believe a cooperative group ride should be about.
Ticket query
Hey Everyone,
Two weeks ago, I got a ticket for running a red light (on my bike) on River Road. The cop told the group I was with that we only had to pay $50, and wouldn't get any points on our license. He suggested pleading guilty and sending in $25, and said that the worst that could happen was that we would receive a bill for the balance. I followed his advice, and today received a bill for $245. I've been looking around at different accounts online, and can't find a straight answer - how much is the fine? What can I do now? Was the officer wrong?
Thanks for any advice... I'm leaving the country in about a week and so can't schedule a court date. This is a real bummer.
