Free: Toeclips--MKS chrome (small) and Zefal plastique (large)
Beautiful chrome MKS toeclips (no straps). Very good condition. Too small for me.

A generous NYCCer gave me these Zefal toeclips in a size Large. They have served their purpose--convinced me I do indeed need a size Medium. So I am passing them along

NY1's "The Call" discusses bike lanes (and pedestrian plazas)
It was on TV tonight. It wasn't pretty.
http://www.ny1.com/content/the_call/the_call_blog/
The media won't let this topic go. They know some people are angry (in a very big media market) and anytime they want, they can drum up hundreds of "complaints" about road improvements that are helping people stay alive. The more hostility they can generate toward the mayor (and toward us), the higher their ratings go.
I know it's always been the case that people have thought bikes don't belong on the streets and that NYC cyclists were crazy, but this time the hate seems to be surging without end.
No B16 laps in Central Park at 5:45am on Thursday (4/14) or Tuesday (4/19)
I hope to see you next Thursday, 4/21.

Drive and Ride -- Bear Mountain
Hi All:
My friend and I want to drive to a location about 30 miles south of Bear Mountain, then ride doing the big hill and come back for about a 60 mile round trip ride.
Does anyone know of a good place to park and have a route to Bear.
Thanks!
WANTED - Thule Wheel-ON or off-brand equivalent wheel carriers
Looking for 3 Thule Wheel-on's (or their non-thule equivalent). It's the piece that carries the front wheel when you use fork-mount roof racks. I have a trip where I need to bring 3 bikes, 4 people, and a ton of luggage and won't be able to fit the wheels in the car. I really don't want to pay the retail $35. Anyone looking to get rid of some, or know where I could get them on the cheap?
