This has been in effect for over a year, yet I still get frequent requests for train reservations on the Harlem Line. 

Although individuals may take their bikes on these trains, Metro North will not grant us reservations on this line until further notice.

I am pleased to announce that Marc Simkin has agreed to join our Board as Content Editor following Gil Lavi’s resignation.

Oh, no!  On my ride this past Sunday we were stopped in Piermont and one of our group was given a summons for riding “two abreast”.  I was at the front and didn’t see the infraction, or how serious the infraction was, or even if there was an infraction.  After talking with the guy who got the summons, I’m inclined to think there was no infraction and he was just avoiding some bad road near the edge.  Bah, humbug.  Anyways, he was cool as can be, didn’t say a word, took the ticket.  He looked at me and said, “Arguing with a Cop is no win”.   Teach me how you do that.  Big compliments for his composure. 

Does anybody have any knowledge of the status of the paving of the trail.  The last I heard they were actually supposed to start in August.

Hi:

There's a group on Facebook "New York Cycle Club Members Group" https://www.facebook.com/groups/NYcycleclub/. It's a "closed" group. I'm a member and do see familiar names there. Is this legitimately NYCC's? If yes, who manages the membership and/or moderates the posts and comments?

Thanks.

Hello. My name is Sheena Iyengar. www.sheenaiyengar.com

I am blind, and I am looking to hire someone to ride with me during either early morning, before 7am, or in the evening after 6pm. I own a tandem bike, which you can view in the FaceBook link below. I live on Riverside Drive in Upper West Side, and I am very close to the river. Pay is negotiable. Please email me if interested. [email protected]

If you are one of the many members that start or end your ride in Port Jervis, NY. I wanted to let you know of a new LBS opening.

As of 12 Noon on Saturday, Aug 10th there will be a new bike store in Port Jervis.  Action Bike and Outdoor will be opening at 27th Front Street.  Front Street, is on the other side of the the MacArthur Circle. (See image here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhGO38HxSou3m-dcIAYuSHVZ1AiOnw?e=DojLTu)

This is their second location.  The first location is across the river in Milford, PA.

Action Bike is a Trek, Cannondale, Kona dealer.

Today's Pizza & Ice Cream Ride will be tomorrow instead.
