the kilometer markers on french climbs. 

Is the gradient listed an average or max? Couldn't find it on line. But if I looked at my Garmin seems to confirm its an average.

Dear Members,

I just wanted to inform you that Steve Vacarro, long-time NYCC member, prominent cyclist advocate and attorney, will be our featured speaker at tomorrow's club meeting at Connolly's Pub and Restaurant, 121 W. 45th St., (3rd fl.) (bet. 6th Ave. - Bway), from 6:00 - 9:00PM. The topic of the program will be: "Bike Law 201: Forewarned is Forearmed!". The meeting is being sponsored by Light & Motion.

We hope to see you there!

I have to ship my bike to Iowa for RAGBRAI, but I want to do a (long) ride on Saturday. This would mean picking up late on Friday and returning first thing on Sunday. I guess different places count hours differently - is there any place that would count this as a one day rental?

I used to use Spinlister for this kind of thing. It was useful. 

I understand that our bikes are covered under our homeowners/renters policy.  Has anyone ever filed a claim?  If so, what was your experience?  Are there special bike policies out there and are they worth it?

Thanks, Bob

Part 1: Foot and bike traffic is heavy coming the other way and being none too deft a bike handler (and loathing those who think the bridge is a course for racing and asserting one's masculinity by challenging others and weaving, I stay in the lane as I slowly come upon a man slowly jogging and is dead center of the walkway. As I approach...

Me: May I pass you?

Him: Nothing, including movement away from the center.

Me: Passing.

Him: Nothing, including movement to the side.

Me: I'd like to pass.

Him: Nothing at all. 

I pass. He's wearing ear phones. He heard music, not me.

Me: That's sure safe.

Him: He looks at me and cares not one whit.

Part 2:

Hi,

I'm interested in putting together a ride that combines history and cycling. Send me a message if you are knowledgeable of any aspect of NYC history, that encompasses all the boroughs.

Thanks,

Miranda

Many of us knew Chris and also that he's been battling cancer in recent times. Sadly he succumbed to the disease some days ago so we send our love and condolences to his wife Claire and family.
In a time of extreme mixed emotions, Claire gave birth to their baby girl around the same time.
I'm light on any further details but thought his many friends in NYCC and A-SIG in particular would like to be able to extend their sympathies to Claire and family.
