Die Hards on Ice.

Submitted by HWoods on Fri, 01/21/2011 - 6:02pm

With slush on the streets now and 16 degrees at 9am tomorrow, maybe we should consider ice skating around CP instead of riding. Wonder if CP police would ticket for skating through red lights?

In any case, another saturday on the spinning bikes instead of on the road.

cancelled again. rats.

Bike Parking Garage

Submitted by bensimonphoto on Wed, 01/19/2011 - 5:19pm

Hi All,
I'm looking for car parking garages in Manhattan that allow bike parking. Or if there are any garages that only have bike parking, that would work too. Resources seem limited so any info you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Aha! At last! A way cyclists can blow the whistle on bad drivers!
