Thru Axles & Trainers
Many of us have gotten new bikes in the last couple of years that use thru axles instead of quick releases. If you've tried to mount such a bike to a standard, old-fashioned resistance trainer, you probably ran into trouble. I discovered the solution, which is a thru axle trainer adapter from Robert Axle Project: https://robertaxleproject.com/. I have no connection to this company; I'm just a very satisfied customer. They make it very easy to figure out what you need and how to install it.
Heny Hudson Bridge Walkway
I noticed on my way into work this morning, that the walkway on the Henry Hudson Bridge has been reopened.
That is a nice early holiday present, as it wasn't expected to re-open until April.
Also, there are now more signs that state bikes must be walked.
I haven't had a chance to try it out as of yet.

Annie Londonderry(1870-1947) the ultimate intrepid female cyclist--cycled around the world in 1894
Fascinating! but I am not sure why Bruce Weber wrote and the Times published her mini bio on today's (Nov 11) obit page.
BTW Peter Zheutlin wrote:"Around the World on Two Wheels: Annie Londonderry's Extraordinary Ride" in 2007.
Hip specialist
Hi all,
I am looking for recommendations of a hip specialist- not a surgeon.

Tour de Bronx Tee shirt
The instructions in the email for getting the Tour de Bronx tee shirt are wrong. you have to pick "My Packaging" and put in the dimentions 17 x 11 x 14 and declare a value. UP to $100 is free. If you do not do it this way ground service will not show up.
This is the correct email address it must be exactly like this
I got my shirt yesterday
Special thanks and appreciation to all who made Fall Foliage 2019 possible
Calling All Ed Fishkin Disciples
If you've ever listened to Dr. Ed explain how to change a flat, you saw him use the ever-elusive, utterly unavailable, VAR tire tool. At the Philadelphia Bike Expo this weekend, I found a source for these in the United States (they used to be only spottily available from England). MB Rules forbid me from advertising this unique and wonderful product, but if you want to know where to get one, email me at [email protected].
