The east river greenway has been closed at 75th street for about a year now.  If you're heading north, you have to exit at the 71st street bridge, and then head north to 81st street, and then head back to the greenway.  Ugh, at best.

I recently read an article in "Our Town" which mentions that the construction is not done, and the greenway is now closed "indefinitely."  I am guessing it will reopen some time in 2013, based on what I read in the article.

Hey everyone! Just joined NYCC and had a questions.  The 'C' rated rides... are those ok for beginners?  My husband and I have only ever done two big organized rides (bike the hudson river valley and the 5 boro bike tour).  We have hybrid bikes and have been wanting to get into bicycling more (to get in shape and for recreation).  Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks and safe riding!

I am selling a New In Box 2011 Campagnolo Chorus Brakeset, asking $150 either cash or through Paypal.

I bought this for a bike build at the beginning of the season but never ended up using these. These are the new for 2011 dual pivot calipers; please see the pictures below:

(but act quick! will be looking for reponses until about 9am)

Paving crews are out in force tonight here on Riverside Drive from W72nd St. on up (I don't know how far but I would hope they intend to pave the entire milled section). Enjoy fresh pavement this weekend. Wish I could. Hope it will last 5 weeks until I can ride again. 

It feels good just to watch this:
