NEEDED: Borrow/Rent Bicycle Rack

Submitted by etnugent on Wed, 06/17/2020 - 12:43pm

My GF and I are heading upstate for a few days next week (Wed - Sun).

We'd like to take our bikes with us, so we're looking to borrow/rent a trunk mounted rack from someone.

Any info or leads are appreciated.

Thanks! -- Ted

Hostile woman?

Submitted by EODonnell on Tue, 06/16/2020 - 12:24pm

As we road through Piermont on Sunday, maybe about 9:30ish, there was a group of 4 - 5 cyclists stopped talking to a woman in a driveway, in front of a parked car.  She was screaming and cursing at them, and then grabbed a bike and pushed it a couple of times very aggressively into the cyclist, as he stood there. Does anyone have any insight into what was happening?  At least from my perspective, absent further info, she was essentially assaulting the cyclist with his bike.

Thanking our Volunteers with Free NYCC Gear - Claim Your Gear By 7/7

Leading a ride or joining the Escape New York Committee or rising to the rank of SIG or STS Captain all may be their own reward, but we still want to thank our 2019 volunteers with some free club gear.
 
If you led rides in 2019 or volunteered with NYCC or ENY in another way, please check your eligibility for free gear here. You’ll have to fill out the order form letting us know what gear you’d like by July 7th, 2020.
 
We don’t know yet, but we suspect manufacturing and international shipment will be slower than usual. Once the gear is ready, it may not be feasible to distribute it via local bike shops as we’ve done in the past.

A great, new idea for an ENY donation that could benefit us.

Submitted by RRosenthal on Thu, 06/11/2020 - 1:11am

Donate to a dermatologist to give a skin abrasion to River Road, primarily the north half, west side of the road. Nah, we'll throw in another hundred. Make it the whole thing.

Bifocal solution for cycling Sunglasses?

Submitted by g.mcmullen on Mon, 06/08/2020 - 4:41pm

Hello cycling friends,

Maybe this has been discussed before. I'm seeking a sunglass solution for cycling with a bifocal prescription. Most makers I'm aware of will not make a prescription sunglass lens that is bifocal. Anybody out there found a satisfactory solution that is hardy enough for road cycling?

thanks in advance
