NY State cycling laws?

Submitted by LauraC on Wed, 03/02/2011 - 11:02am

I had a run-in with a very aggressive driver this morning on my commute to work. Now that I'm thinking clearly again, I realize it would have been great if I'd had a copy of NY State's cycling laws on me. You know, the bit about "share the road" and that we have the right to ride so many feet away from a parked car EVEN if there isn't a bike lane. Oh also that bit about how anyone on the road who isn't in a car actually has the RIGHT OF WAY - even if there's no bike lane and even if you (as the driver) think they are wrong. Anybody got a quick link?

Down for a long time with clavicle fracture.

Submitted by AFranklin on Tue, 03/01/2011 - 5:50pm

So, when I left home for a ride in Central Park for the first time in 2 weeks on Friday, Feb. 4, (jokingly, I thought) I told someone I was going to the park to get a ticket, because that was just after the CP ticket blitz began, and I've ridden there 1000 times. Instead, because of sloppy road maintenance or someone's deliberate act, I ended up on the ground behind the Lasker bathhouse with a concussion and what turned out to be a devastating fracture of my left clavicle.

Caution on River Road

Submitted by Cyclegalnycc on Tue, 03/01/2011 - 4:51pm

Tis the season, folks. While River Rd has been great most of the winter, we all know what happens in the Spring. Going north today, just after the gate we go around (about halfway through) there were a lot of brances all over the road. Then, at the bottom of one of the last downhills before the Alpine climb, there were a couple of LARGE boulders and pieces of same in the middle of the road. As the temps warm up, more rocks will loosen from all the water/snow in the ground. Please be cautious!

Road bike rentals in Miami area

Submitted by JFinder on Tue, 03/01/2011 - 3:03pm

Does anybody know a bike shop with a good supply of high-end road bikes on the north side of Miami? I guess anywhere from Ft. Lauderdale down to Miami Beach would be OK, as long as I can cycle from there. Last time I was there I rented from a local shop near my mom, but they didn't have a sufficient supply of road bikes to fit me properly, and the bikes they had weren't anything special. Anybody know a high-end shop with rentals?
