The New York Public Library invites NYCC members to attend an upcoming cycling culture author talk:

I am trying to edit some of my routes on Ride with GPS, and it's not working the way it usually does. Specifically, the directional notations aren't available to edit. Did something change recently? Do I need to upgrade from the free account?

I just got that phrase in a mailing sent on behalf of the club. 

The Board has not provided a membership headcount in years. Even though the Bylaws obligate reporting that number. 

Please let us know the basis of that claim. With dates and member roster counts.

Our Lunch and Learn topic on this Saturday's C13 and B15 rides to Pascack will be "how to change a flat in under 5 minutes."

Please join us to watch our expert, Ed Fishkin, show us how to do this.  Plus, our route to Pascack is pretty and SHADY (mostly).

Sign up at https://nycc.org/node/87694 (C13) or https://nycc.org/node/87693 (B15).

You can't make this stuff up!

From Streetsblog USA:

The Louisiana parish where a prominent local politician was killed while riding his bike has taken the wrong lessons from the tragedy.

Baton Rouge Metro Councilman and cyclist Buddy Amoroso was killed by a distracted driver on June 30, but West Feliciana Parish is poised to punish bike riders rather than undertaking broader measures to protect them.

I haven't had a chance to ride the newly completed bike lane on Broadway in the Northern Bronx yet.  However, I drove along Broadway yesterday to see how far the bike lane runs.

It starts about 1 block north of the West 242 #1 station and stops about 2 blocks short of the city line around West 261st street.  The bike lane is on the eastern side of the street and is bi-directional.

They dug a trench (already on Google maps) to connect the 2 bodies of water. Looks like a major project that can take months to finish. The detour west (left turn northbound at the first signage) seems to be shorter.

My bike was stolen yesterday. Please help. Cannondale mountain bike 29. 

James will give every child in this school a bike and a helmet. He is a biking enthusiast for reasons that extend beyond cardiovascular benefit: From James’s earliest childhood days, when he lived in a tiny apartment just up an embankment from Cuyahoga Valley railroad tracks, the bike stood as a symbol of freedom. It allowed him to pedal out of his down-at-the-heels neighborhood and explore a larger world.

nice turnout on a steamy day.
