Newly ex-NYCC member Jerry Piven just rode his 400th Century since 2011!

Submitted by RRosenthal on Fri, 07/03/2020 - 4:56am

40 centuries a year for ten years. How did he have the time? I'm not sure this is an answer but he's a philosophy professor and he thinks and plans some of the time he rides.

If the formulation "newly-ex" is confusing, what it means is, after some years as a member, he decided a couple weeks ago when his membership expired to not renew it For cause..

Co-lead Queens ride?

Submitted by michael on Wed, 07/01/2020 - 6:54pm

I want to list a "scouting" ride for this route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/33192516. I'm thinking Saturday?

This is a variation on the Queens Loop route that I've been doing for a couple of years now. 

Would anyone like to co-lead with me? As you may know, ride listings with one ride leader are currently being rejected.

Talk to me.

Now that the bike/pedestrian path over the Cuomo (Tappan Zee) Bridge is open, we've posted some routes in the Ride Library that use the bridge. They can be found in the Westchester/CT Region and in the New Jersey/Rockland County Region. More will be added soon, but here are the first two:

burley type kid trailer

Submitted by ejlat on Tue, 06/30/2020 - 7:43pm

I want to test a kids trailer with my grandkids, before I purchase one. I'm sure I'll like it - unsure about them. Does anyone have one they would be willing to let me try? Thanks

Beat-the-heat listing for 6/28 now rolls at 7:40 am

Submitted by MHiller on Sat, 06/27/2020 - 6:45pm
Moved this a little later in the morning, as the main concern now is finishing before any potential rainstorms. I've submitted a ride listing update, and if there seem to be any last-moment signups that still saw the old time I'll reach out with extra notice. Thanks!

Negative Experiences with Transition Bike Lanes

Submitted by stephaniezhang422 on Wed, 06/24/2020 - 4:04pm

Hi, I hope everyone is well and healthy.

Has anyone had any negative experiences with bike lanes that switches from one side to the other side mid-block?

I know that before changes were made, this was the configuration on West 30th street between 8th and 7th Avenues. 

Please respond directly to this post or email me @ [email protected] if you have! Thank you.
