Hello, NYCC.  First of all, thank you so much for your support.  Without this message board, I never would have found my lawyer and may never have taken action against the NYPD who arrested me back in April.  For the full story of what happened to me, in case you missed it, check out this gothamist article.  

As much as it breaks my heart, I must sell my road bike. I have just had my first child; and my little angel has left me short on money and zero time to ride.

stay tuned for a game on/off call, given saturday's iffy weather forecast.  i don't like riding in the rain.  and having bbq in the rain is no fun either.

if the game is on, don't forget to bring your bike lock.  madison square park will be crowded and i want to triple lock our bikes together.

Why the bike lane may not be the safest place to ride:

We regretfully inform you that we will be cancelling the Chaste Skirt ride tomorrow.  It was a tough decision, but with 50-60% chance of showers and thundershowers, and given there are significant sections of hard pack and hilly country roads, we felt it prudent to save this ride for a nicer day.  We hope you understand.  We are just as bummed out as you are... but as a wise rider said, CT will always be there.  Hopefully we can do this ride again some other time. 

We are doing our best to counter these forces......but if you are riding Newcomers, please check here at 7:00 AM, Sunday morning for any necessary, weather-related cancellation.

 

 

Thanks.

Keep  Your Bike Out of My Park

The Parks Committee of Community Board 8 isn’t interested in  sharing.

I have followed Damian's courageous battle to return his bike and  for that matter any sense of normalcy. His cause has been championed on the NYVELOCITY Blog.

Sorry, due to a virus--dizziness, etc.--Sundays ride is canceled.

Will reschedule later this Summer.
