Experience with Adventure Cycling?
I'm thinking of going on one of Adventure Cycling's shorter trips this time next year. I've been a member for years, but never gone on one of their tours. Have you toured with them? The one I'm looking at is 10 days, self-contained inn-to-inn (no camping).

River Road cops gone nuts!
No Fall Foliage in 2020
Fellow Members,
After discussion, we decided that NYCC should not hold an official Fall Foliage series in 2020 for the following reasons:
"The World's Fastest Man" The Extraordinary Life of Cyclist MAJOR TAYLOR America's First Black Sports Hero by Michael Kranish
He died in 1932 at age 53 and was buried in a pauper's cemetery. I recommend the book.
Snake Hill In Cold Spring Harbor Is Inaccessible
Shore Rd leading north from Main Street is torn up got repaving.
Recommendation for Smart Trainer
I'm thinking about getting a smart training stand..I've never had any kind of bike trainer since
I used the health club bike – no longer an option. Any suggestions or advice would be
appreciated. Also, ease of installing and un-installing.
Thank you.

Roof rack theft in NYC?
Has anyone experienced theft of their roof rack in NYC? Not theft of a bike from a roof rack, but the roof rack itself. Mostly asking about Manhattan, but any experience from the five boroughs would be interesting.
I live on the Upper East (Yorkville) and had Thule Aerobars and pair of Rocky Mounts bike trays for three years before they were stolen in 2019. The racks had lock cores, but the racks are mounted on clamps that are easy to hammer or pry off even when locked.
This Sunday 9/27 Come Represent for Cyclists on the Queensboro Bridge!
If you can please attend an important demonstration to give the southern roadway of the Queensboro Bridge over to cyclists! (That way the pedestrians can be left to themselves on the northern roadway). The demonstration begins at 10:00 am Sunday morning at Honey Locust Park, East 59th Street between First and Second Avenues. All the major bike and related organizations are on board and working to turn people out, should be a powerful event.
