Hi, I'm hopeful for any rider who rides with genu valgum/knock knees, had knee pain, and had it corrected by their bike fitter. I've been to two fits (one typical store bike fit, a second professional highly rated bike fitter) over the span of 4 months and nothing has worked.

Everything I've tried: extensive hamstring stretching (working on glut muscle strength next), speedplay pedals to let my heels come in because my feet are toed outwards, 3 degree shims, and switching from 175 to 170mm cranks. After hundreds of dollars in modifications/bike fits, and an incredible amount of time wasted I'm beyond frustrated and desperate for any advice.

I sent the following message to all ride leaders, but it applies to everyone. If you want to lead a ride speak to your coordinator or to me. If you know or see someone who you think would be a good leader, speak to that person and make them known to your leader is you aren't the leader yourself or your ride coordinator or me:

I write to encourage all of you to watch your fellow riders for signs that one or more could be good ride leaders. If you see someone in your group you think might make a good leader, talk to them, ask our ride leader it that person could pull for a while and watch how they do, and if they show any interest at all, refer them to your leader, coordinator or directly to me.

Any suggestions for bike insurance?   I am also interested in those that had to submit claims.  Thanks.

If you are riding through the Bronx, avoid the area between Seddwick and Bedford Park Blvd and Goulden and Paul Aves.  Bx Science is a vaccination site.  More traffic than normal, especially weekends.  Cars doubled parked, bike lanes blocked, etc.

Confiscation for reckless cycling !

This from our liaisons at Metro North:

The Harlem Line is available for bike moves again and we just found out that service has been restored beyond Southeast, all the way up to Wassaic again.  That will begin when the new schedules are in effect next Monday April 12^th.

This means we will begin to take train reservations on the Harlem Line after April 12th.

If you couldn't register for the Farmer's Daughter Gravel Grinder ride (Sunday May 16th in Chatham, NY), you can now.

I can't participate and am selling my ticket at cost.

If you're interested, please reply privately. Thank you.

Access from Nyack to the path is in fact open, though you will not think so!
