Brand new Zefal half toe clips. Got them from Amazon, but can't use them. If anyone can use them, they're yours. Can meet in Central Park at the start of the SIGs. http://www.amazon.com/Zefal-Cristophe-Mountain-Bicycle-Clips/dp/B000JDZQ... Tried to attach a link for the clips, not sure if I was successful.

Bicycles, Rolling Stops, and the Idaho Stop

Although a stop sign is not a traffic light, the basic idea of cycling safety vs current law is there.

Buying threaded Co2 cartridges online

Submitted by MBruckner on Fri, 04/01/2011 - 11:36am

Does anyone have a store that they like/recommend for purchasing threaded 16g CO2 cartridges online?

Anyone care to team up to buy in bulk and then split the order?

Thanks!

If it's a Friday petition ride, it must be snowing.

Route to Princeton, NJ anyone?

Submitted by Charles King on Thu, 03/31/2011 - 1:32pm

Does anyone have a nice route from NYC to Princeton, NJ that avoids major roads?  I've driven there many times by automobile, but on roads that I don't care to pedal.  Thanks in advance.  Charles King.
