odd GWB path message

Submitted by mgeller1 on Mon, 10/07/2019 - 6:59am

This was sent out 34 times

I know the official time is 6 a.m. but during the summer it was routinely open closer to 5:00 a.m (just a guess but perhaps a nod to the earlier sunrise time). Was this a warning to not expect this going forward?

The GWB Sidewalk is open 6am thru 12am daily. [34]

The rider list somehow disappeared.  Here's the link to new listing.

Carbon Wheels and Exaust from Rear Carriers

Bicycling Magazine has an interesting article on damage to carbon wheels from the exaust when using rear carriers. I tried to attach the article but did not know how.

Best wishes to Leora Rosenberg, newest member of the Kollarbone Klub

Leora took a spill on a ride Saturday on a very bad piece of pavement in Hartsdale. (Beware Rte 100A/Hartsdale Ave > Knollwood Rd, folks!) A friend took Leora direct to NYU Langone where she was treated for a broken collarbone, sprained wrist, and road rash, and released. Leora's in good spirits and on the mend. Thanks, Leora, for your dedication to cycling and to NYCC.

The Tour de Bronx needs marshals!

New York's largest free cycling event rolls on Sunday, October 27, 2019. Marshals are needed to help cyclists with mechanical problems, point out directions, and sometimes just give encouragement to riders to finish the 25- or 40-mile route.

Garmin stolen off bike on NJT

Submitted by JBlackburn on Thu, 09/26/2019 - 10:55am

Watch bikes carefully when riding trains to and from ride start/end destinations. On NJT especially, many of us bungie our bikes in downstairs bike section and sit upstairs & pay no attention until we get off.  It is too easy for opportunists passing through cars to help themselves to accessories or even grab the top bike and get off at the next station
