Be forewarned: According to a cop in an unmarked police car (as he was writing up my $190 ticket this morning), the police have been ordered to do a ticketing campaign to get cyclists running red lights along St. Nick. 

You've been told to "pedal in circles." And "pull up on your pedals." And "be smooth." Turns out it just doesn't matter.

I feel better already.

We are fortunate to get any qualified person to fill each volunteer position on the board.

But sometimes we find someone who we feel should not be on the board at all, at least I sometimes do. We have seen people get a toehold onto a rung of power and work their way up, in the process degrading the institution. 

I’m slightly uncomfortable taking the subway myself from the UWS to the start of the Marathon ride in the very early morning. Anyone want to meet up? (I’m not fit enough to join those riding out from Union Square.)

Pick your favorite bike travel hardcase.

I am torn between a sexy Scicon and a well intentioned but slightly dull BikeBox Alan.

My demographic: Disc brakes (and I really do not want to remove the rotors), Di2 doodads, and a fondness for public ttransportation.

What say ye?

Anyone interested in forming a group to ride out to the Marathon ride on Sunday morning? I'll be riding from Union Square.

Unbelievable.  The ability of the Old Guard to bludgeon each other to death and still have the energy to be active participants in the club (not only riding, but leading, scouting, creating routes, attending meetings etc.) is incredible.  Actually, it's down right impressive.  BRAVO I say.  BRAVO!!!

And the New Guard - the ability to not only open up new grudges, but poke the hell out of, activate, snatch that mantel and run with the old ones - WOW dude!!!  WOW.  ....  .....  such energy.  Such potential.  Such ... a wasted opportunity.

Well, elecitons are here - may the best grudge win.

It's truly sad that in the one contested position, we have one candidate who's communicating solely through a proxy, all of which is disappointingly negative.

Is this campaign about anything or just against Neile?

Hi:

I see a banner with a link to the election ballot.  However, when I click on the link I get an access denied error.

Can someone please investigate?

Thanks
