Best Bronx Bridges

Submitted by Matthias on Sun, 10/08/2017 - 8:12am

I'm planning some autumn/winter rides up from Manhattan's UES to the Bronx and on to (Central) Westchester. Which of the bridges over the East River is currently the safest and most comfortable to take? Any input very welcome! If anybody wants to join me on the occasional ride (A19 style), let me know as well. Thanks! Matthias

Because of forecasted rain and my being sick, this ride has been rescheduled to 10/21.  Hope to see folks then!

You likely saw, or at least heard of the story on "60 Minutes" some months ago and recently repeated of the technology of secreting a  motor in a racing bike. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-hidden-magnets-the-next-big-cheat-in-cycling/

Anyone going on the Westchester Cycle Club's Golden Apple ride Sunday?

Jody and Christy are going - very much looking forward to it.  We'll probably ride an A18 pace. Anyone wants to join, drop me a line, maybe we can meet, make a good showing for the NYCC.

Yes, fellow members: it's election season, and nominations for the Board close at our October Club meeting this Tuesday.  Have you served?  Do you know someone else who should serve? Now is the time to speak up! Clicking on the carousel on the home page will take you straight to the e-Nomination screen (if you're logged in).

A list of nominations received to date appears below.  So far we have one contested position -- that of Content Editor -- where both Michelle Gordon and Gil Lavi have been nominated.  As we say every year, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH A CONTESTED ELECTION.
