thanks to those who came out to last weekend's recovery birthday ride.  thanks to mindy for leading the c-ride to join in on the fun.  thanks to eugene for bringing the candle and party blowers.  thanks to eugene and phil for pushing me up east clinton.  and of course thanks to harry for organizing.

heard on the ride:
"if you're ever looking for a girlfriend, john."
"oh it's hard."
"is it in tight, harry?"
that's all i can remember (old age), but there was definitely more.

until the next fun ride...

Hi everyone- PLEASE check the tally link on the home page- if the number of rides lead by you during 2010 is not correct, and you have not yet contacted me, please do so by Friday eve. If the number of rides you have lead is 12 or more, also send me your jersey size. I will be on vacation for a week, and will be giving Ellen a list of the jerseys to order before I leave.
Thank you

I'm looking for a hard shell bike box to use to ship my wife's road bike - moving out of state. If you have one or know someone who's selling one please email me. Thanks!

Hey guys. My wife and I have a barely used Nautilus stationary bike that we're putting up for sale since we're moving out of state. The model # is U514. It's listed at $599 but we bought it on Amazon for about $400. Less than a few months old. It comes with a Polar HR chest strap, has HR monitor pads on the handle bars and is super quiet during use. Here's a link to the Amazon site: http://www.amazon.com/Nautilus-U514-Upright-Exercise-Bike/dp/B00275R27K/...

We're asking $200 for it. Live in Manhattan. Send an email if you have questions. Thanks.

Sam

The trade-in will occur on Saturday, March 26 from 11am to 4pm, at Bicycle Habitat’s 250 Lafayette Street location in Soho. 

I did the CSIG classification ride on my hybrid and would like to upgrade to a wormen's specific road bike-51cm before the rides begin. Anyone trading up and have a used one for sale? Would love one with dual brakes. Please contact me at [email protected].

There may be two other approaches to solving the problems of cyclists use of the roadway in Central Park:

The roadway was a dirt carriage way until the 1930s. Robert Moses, then NYC Parks Commissioner paved the roadway and made it available for motor vehicle use. Knowing Moses' propensity for acting unilaterally, did he do this legally? Is it a legal roadway?

The Motor Vehicle Laws are State Laws. Perhaps the approach is to convince the State Legislature to amend the Motor Vehicle Laws to provide for "sensible" use by cyclists of all public parks in the state.
