Is there something wrong with the pavement on the new Bayonne Bridge path southbound descent?
Included it in the ride I posted about earlier. Ride went great. I noticed that my handlebars/frontend were buzzing like *crazy* on the Bayonne Bridge descent, though. Varying the speed anywhere within the 15-25mph range didn't seem to matter, nor did I notice a change if applying 0, either of 1, or both brakes. Actually, there was a segment in the middle where the pavement felt smoother, but then the buzzing started again. Has anyone else noticed this?
The paving on this path is concrete rather than asphalt, fwiw.
Looking for Bear Mt. rt.
I'm looking for a Bear Mt. Ride With GPS route that has a place to stop for lunch and a train stop to get back to the city for riders who don't want to ride the whole way. Maybe Cold Spring Harbor? Lastly, I know there are two ways into the park. Last time I went was on the West side. It was kind of brutal. Would you know of a route that goes into the park NOT using the west route? Lot to ask, I know.
So we've got:
Route to Bear
Stop for lunch
Train back from Cold Spring Harbor
And NOT the West entrance into the park.
Thanks!

NYC Ride for Safe Streets & Memorial for Jose Alzorriz on August 25th
I was asked to post this and I am happy to do so.
The more we have at any and all these events the better and any support or help to move towards safer riding is essential for us all as cyclist.
Last-minute ride post for Monday 8/19: 5 boroughs, 7 counties, SI beach
For reasons, it makes sense for me not to go to work tomorrow, and I'm planning to go for a ride instead. It's gonna be hot, humid, and gross, much like today, so I'm thinking I'll use that as an excuse to go the long way to Midland Beach on Staten Island.
This, basically, at about a B18 pace, starting from CPW/96th Street at about 9 AM.

I'm not 100% committed to the Bk/Queens bits, actually; depending on the time I may just head for the SI Ferry directly back to Manhattan.
Perhaps this is a bit of a long shot, but if anyone else may be interested respond, or use the email response to this post thing. Thanks!

Interesting article about Colorado Springs and bike lanes
They had/have some of the same issues that we are experiencing here.

Should I upgrade my wheels to Zipp 302... when they weigh about the same?
I have a 2017 Specialized Diverge Carbon Comp edition. I was thinking of finally upgrading my wheels to get some speed/aero.
I currently have my stock wheels which are:

I was recommended by my bike shop the Zipp 302s as they are not too expensive:

However when comparing specs, I was surprised to see they weight about the same! Would getting these even make much of a difference then? Or is there much more than just the weight that can give me a noticeable speed/aero increase?

Pedestrian Mall right before NY Presbyterian Hospital
Sorry if this has been on board before - but at end of Havens Avenue (street you make left after GW Bridge coming back to city) a few feet before Barns & Noble bookstore on left- it was closed for a few weeks for construction. It is now a pedestrian/bench area - no bicycles can go through - (there's a gate) must walk on sidewalk or make left turn one block before to get to Broadway--
