Lynskey Pro GR taken in a burglary

Submitted by TWengerd on Mon, 02/10/2020 - 11:01pm

Hi fellow NYCCers,

My Lynskey Pro GR was taken when our building was broken into. There aren't that many around, so if you see one please take note.

Here are pictures of the bike and the man that stole it.

The incident and the footage of the crime have been reported to the NYPD.

Thank you!

Tim

 

Did you find yourself riding faster than expected this weekend?

Four hours and 56 minutes. That’s all the time it took for British Airways Flight 112 to fly from New York’s JFK International Airport to London Heathrow early Sunday. According to the flight-tracking service Flightradar24, the sub-five-hour flight broke the previous transatlantic record of 5 hours 13 minutes between New York and London.
 
A rip-roaring jet stream at more than 260 mph turbocharged the trans-Atlantic British Airways flight, which departed New York at 6:20 p.m. and landed in London at 4:43 a.m. Sunday, nearly two hours ahead of schedule.

SIG Preview Ride Ratings?

Submitted by jcraig280 on Mon, 02/03/2020 - 8:41pm

I'm wondering if there might be some clarifications be made available on some of the pre-SIG ride listings?

1) We have an apparent A-Sig (or is it all-level?) listings -- aka WUSS rides.  With a 16mph indicator.  Pretty relaxed description and requirement expectation

2) Then there's the DSig listings (aka WURD)..  These increase the speed (on dirt and gravel no less) by 3-4mph, and asks for pre-existing pacelining skills (thru the woods?). I am curious and interested in perhaps exploring gravel/dirt type of rides, but are NYCCs' postings all only going to be for A-level+ riders only?

Better than Westchester….

….Parkway, that is.

I’m a native New Yorker and decades-long member of the NYCC.  Now, in retirement, I’ve had the opportunity to follow the Dodgers and spend at least part of each year in Los Angeles, albeit each time I return here to “The City” I know I’ve come home.

That said, sometimes it takes spending time 3000 miles from home to remind you of the treasures you have in your own backyard.

For those unfamiliar with Los Angeles, there’s a community adjacent to LAX airport known as Westchester.  It’s a mixed community of commercial and residential uses.

Running along the northern perimeter of LAX in that area there is a smooth, nearly straight boulevard type road known as Westchester Parkway.

WUSS Rides?

Submitted by jcraig280 on Mon, 01/27/2020 - 9:31pm

I see some posted, but you can't join apparently because you get an alert that you have to already be signed up for a SIG, which isn't open for registration until after the rides?

Altercation this past Sunday

I noticed an altercation between a cyclist and a couple of BMW's on the corner of 9W and Van Nostrand at around 1240 this Sunday (1/26).

Anyone know what happened?
