"Peloton" magazine -- a really excellent lifestyle journal about bicycling and the cycling experience -- has started a digital magazine called "Around on Bikes" (aroundonbikes.com), focused on bicycle commuting and recreational cycling.

Amazingly enough, they picked up on an Instagram comment of mine, and the result is the following short article:

Enjoy!

I’m going to scout this ride, https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34973623, tomorrow. It’s too late to list this, also it’s going to be kinda scouty – if you know what I mean. LMK know if you want to join me.

The Weather is looking good!

It’s a long route but we can always bail at mile 46 and take the train at Tarrytown. Or, we can take Rte. 9W and cut out about 8 miles.

Has anyone noticed that the mirrors on the bridge's suspension towers are often not positioned properly to enable riders to see approaching pedestrians or other riders? I have never seen all four angled the way they should be. Today the westerly one in the eastern tower seemed to be dangling. Has anyone reached out to the Port Authority to alert them? This seems like it would be a very easy fix to make it easier to get through those towers safely. 

Does anyone know if the NYCC weekly (Saturday) Racing Development Rides are going to continue? I was really enjoying them.

I can't let Covid interrupt the skein of 28 uninterrupted years of holding a wheelbuilding and wheel truing clinic for NYCC members. But it just ain't gonna happen until Covid relents--which it surely won't do before Lent. So, would-be students of wheelbuilding and truing, bide your time. Class will come before 12/31.21. I think. And hope.

For those wondering just what this is: You'll bring a rim, spokes, and a hub to class and go home with a perfectly built wheel that you, yourself, will have built. Or arrive with an out-of-true wheel and go home with a perfectly trued one that you'll have trued. 

Class is on the Upper Eastside.

where can I find it.  Thanks.
