“Large growth in membership numbers”
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.
Lunch and Learn rides have been changed to "how to change a flat in under 5 minutes"
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).

After Cycling Politician is Killed, Louisiana Parish Seeks to Make Biking Harder
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.
Bronx, Broadway bike lane
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.
505 is closed where Knickerbocker turns into Livingston
.
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.
Stolen Bike HELP
My bike was stolen yesterday. Please help. Cannondale mountain bike 29.
LeBron, meet LeMond
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.
Thank You Bob for another well run event !

nice turnout on a steamy day.
Is Heat Index for tomorrow's rides a problem??
I was just looking over this heat index chart that Maggie Clarke drew up, https://nycc.org/sites/default/files/files/Heat%20Index%202001.pdf
and I was wondering if any ride leaders are editing their rides for tomorrow. Not only is it supposed to be hot (90+) with heat index values of 100, there is an air quality warning as well.
