Hi -
Used Pista for sale. It's in great shape, I've had it wrapped with old tubes to protect the chrome.
Please email if interested.
is anyone interested in going on a week's bike trip in Umbria this summer?
B16 laps in Central Park - Thurs 6:15am - canceled
I'm canceling. I think the ground will be soggy even if the precipitation stops and the wind is expected to be over 20 MPH and it's going to be very cold. All in all, spin class seems like a better idea to me!!! (Plus I get an extra 30 minutes' sleep.) I hope to see you next Tuesday.
Regards, Linda

Help here fighting a $135.00 ticket handed out to me like candy.
Dear Cyclists,
I hope I may get some help here fighting a $135.00 ticket handed out to me like candy.
My trial date approaches in April. Please respond when time allows and thank you in advance!
Sincerely,
Cycling accident on Bowery
Hi!
I was hit on the Bowery last night, and my bike is toast. The driver pulled a U turn onto my side of the road, crossing a double yellow line - is that illegal? I know the car hit me on my side of the road, as I had to crawl across the double yellows to get out of the traffic, and was nearly hit by another car. Also, if there were passengers in the vehicle, and they claim in the police report that I was on the wrong side of the road - do they count as witnesses? I was too banged up to chase after anyone who may have been an independent witness.
The driver then tried to stop the ambulance taking me away saying I was not injured badly enough - nice! The police did get there and a report is filed
Brewer Bill to Close Park to Cars to be Reintroduced Today
According to the NY Post Gale Brewer is going to reintroduce her bill to close the park to traffic today.

In my opinion this is more preferable to the yellow lights bill and probably has a greater chance of passing.

Police Apologize in Person for Cyclist’s Ticket in Park
March 22, 2011
David Regen was sitting down to dinner Tuesday night when two police officers appeared at his home under circumstances that will instantly evoke envy from any New Yorker who has ever been issued a ticket.
The officers had come over to apologize for a ticket issued to him earlier that day.
“They said, ‘We’re here because we’re withdrawing your ticket because we feel you were treated unfairly,’ ” Mr. Regen recalled about an hour later in a telephone interview.
