Hi Everyone! My name is Jodi Kanter and I am new to NYCC. I am also research associate at the Brain Trauma Foundation and am hoping to gain your support for our current study. The Brain Trauma Foundation (BTF), affiliated with the Weil Cornell Medical Center, is an organization dedicated to improving the outcome of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients worldwide through conducting clinical research, and educating medical professionals and consumers. In 2009, cycling was the number 1 cause of estimated head injuries treated in United States emergency rooms, with 85,389 casualties.

Universal sports has a pay per view for the Vuelta and the Giro.  Last year, versus offered the same thing for the Tour.  So far I haven't seen any pay per view or online streaming offers for the Tour.  Anyone know how to watch it without cable?  

Great ride, solid B or recovery ride on the incredibly scenic North Shore of Long Island. Easy access via LIRR. Thanks Pat, Jim, Anathea and Emily for the great company on what could have been another one of those grey dreary days we've been having~:P

Okay, I know it's gross to try to pass off worn cycling apparel; I remember the grief that guy got a couple of years ago for trying to sell his used shorts.  But these are just gloves, and before I throw them away, I thought I'd ask if anyone wants them.

Giordana "Strada gel," black, size small (felt fine in the shop, too tight on the ride).  Worn once a couple of weeks ago on a ride to Nyack, did not take them into the restroom, washed them when I got home.  (I even had sparkling-new shifters and bar tape, which lessens the yuck factor here.)  Lightly scuffed on the palms as you might expect, but otherwise a shame to put these in the trash.

I'm doing some volunteer work for the American Heart Association's 2012 LI Heart Ride and would like help to identify LI cycle clubs I've missed. I've found 7 cycling clubs/teams, including:

I thought this was interesting. He didn't actually use a triple, but race commentators reported that Contador made a bike swap before climbing Monte Zoncolan. The new bike had 36/32 front/rear gears, which results in gearing that is even lower than a typical triple! Monte Zoncolan is one of the most demanding climbs in pro cycling. It hits 22% at some points.

Lowest gear on a typical compact (front/rear): 34/25... gear inches: 35.7

Lowest gear on a less typical, but lower geared compact: 34/28... gear inches: 33.2

Lowest gearing on a typical triple: 30/25.. gear inches: 31.5

Drumroll please....

Contador's lowest gearing for Monte Zoncolan: 36/32... gear inches: 29.6
