Well, I flipped open the strangely free copy of Bicycling Mag that's suddenly started landing in my mailbox and spotted this credit card http://www.bicycling.com/card
At the risk of sounding like I'm promoting it (certainly am not) and suspending the disdain we have for credit cards - even though we use them every day - it struck me as a really simple but clever customer engagement doodad - having your face and favorite steed on the card! Playing right into the rabid fanaticism some of us have for our bicycles et al. I mean, would you rather that or a generic computer generated corporate logo?

From the League of American Bicyclists (NYCC is a member):

The bicycling movement lost its biggest champion, Chairman James Oberstar (D-MN) and more than 30 members of the Congressional Bike Caucus in the House. Representatives Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Peter DeFazio (D-OR), other leading bicycling supporters, both retained their seats.

I'm leading another A19 ride this Sunday. It didn't make it into the ride listings on the new website, although it was approved last Friday. I'd copy the listing, but the new message board can't format paragraphs, so here are the main details. Meet at 7:50 a.m. at the NJ Transit departures board for the 8:11 train to Summit (arrives 9:06). Lunch is at Schooley's Mountain General Store, the oldest operating general store in New Jersey. I think we'll make the 3:49 back to the city (trains run every hour). A few miles of dirt roads. One big climb. If you'd like to do the ride, click the envelope next to my name… wait, never mind. Just e-mail me at msilver(at)iso(dot)com. If you're a human being and not a spambot, you should be able to figure it out.

See ride listing.
I need at least one confirmed participant by email or HERE by 9.00 pm Wednesday for me to turn up at Eleanor statue at 12.00 pm Thursday.
Weather looks good for Thursday afternoon.
(FYI, the one signed up on ride listing so far is not quite 100% confirmed so may not be enough).

Ride Details:

This year's Warren Miller ski movie is on Saturday 11/20 at Symphony Space, 95th St & B'way). Of the 2 showings that evening, I'm aiming for the 6PM (not the 9PM).

Would anyone like to participate in forming a group (at least 10 needed). We'll get reserved seating, and $18/person ticket price (versus $21 in advance or $24 at the door). Plus the promotion package includes 2 free tix vouchers (Gore, Jimminy Peak), a 1-year SKI magazine subscription, and raffle prizes. [Check promoter's website http://www.chestnutmtnproductions.com/warren_miller/warren_miller_nyc.htm ]

Which website do you prefer? Old or new?

Here is the message from the store.
I cant figure out how to post the photo at the moment.

Where are all the Bergen/Rockland/Orange cues that are NOT Gunk or Catskill rides located?
