Hi !

I've found your web site on the web & all of you look very friendly and open to new comers. Great !

Your President Ellen Jaffe suggest me to use the message board. Here i am !

I'm in NYC & Stamford from the 18th to the 24th of june (2011)

I'm looking for people that may show me some good rides in & out NYC.

To correspond with the way you do, i'm looking for group A or B, from 40 to 60 miles.

I've seen Adam Ritter's Ride sunday the 19th at 10:30 AM. Is that ok ?

If you have some more details about this ride, you're welcome !

I signed up, and the friend I was planning on riding with procrastinated and now the tour is sold out. 

If you signed up and decide not to ride for some reason, let me know!  I'll take your registration off your hands.  

 

Thanks in advance, 

Talia

Bike Lanes and Fast Speeds

Submitted by BVan Nieuwenhoven on Mon, 06/13/2011 - 1:06pm

Here's something for academic pondering or lawyerly analysis:

In clear traffic, I can ride up Third Avenue (Manhattan) at 20mph with no problem. It has no bike lane, and I have the same 30mph speed limit as motor vehicles. Similarly, if I ride up Lafayette/Fourth Avenue downtown, I can maintain high rates of speed without hazard from sudden obstructions (doors, pedestrians, etc.) as long as I hug the roadside edge of the non-separated bike lane. 

But if I'm on one of the segments of Second Avenue with a protected bike lane, there's no way I can ride faster than 15mph. It's simply not designed for protecting cyclists riding at fast speeds, and the illegal obstructions are as frequent and disruptive as Casey Neistat's video describes.

Thanks to True and Angelica-- great ride!

Do you have the cue sheet?  Specifically, I' m trying to find where we made the left turn on the steep hill?
