Greenway status, esp. West Side?

Submitted by isaacb on Thu, 05/20/2021 - 9:59pm

Is there a one-stop place to get status of the various area greenways?

In absence of that, what's the status of the West Side Greenway, between 125 and Dyckman? Any closures or detours?

Thanks

Road tubeless tires on clincher rims (with tubes) ?

Submitted by JFeinberg on Wed, 05/19/2021 - 11:20pm

I've got lots of extra used 700c road tubeless tires with plenty of meat left on them.  A neighbor gave me an old Peugot Record Du Monde bike that they were going to throw away. The bike is solid for the most part, but the tubes & tires on the wheels were rotting.  Can I put my road tubeless tires on the 700c rims of the Peugot so long as I also add in some tubes?

Tub O' Towels (cleaning wipes)

Submitted by velociraptor on Mon, 05/17/2021 - 7:37am

I highly recommend this: Tub O' Towels.  It's a cleaning wipe product. 

It's amazing for cleaning bike drivetrains, cleaning bike frame, cleaning bike grease off hands, not to mention various household cleaning.  It's super convenient; I always carry some in a ziploc bag while riding.  I've tried many things including e.g. Trisodium Phosphate; Tub O' Towels works way better.

I have nothing to do with the company.  Just wanted to share something that works well for me.

It comes in a yellow & black cylinder.

SIG Classification Ride

Submitted by WayneManzur on Wed, 05/12/2021 - 3:06pm

Hello,

Is there anywhere/anyway a SIG classification ride can be done on Staten Island? I can easily ride 18-20 miles on mixed-hill road here too.  

Thanks.
