Bike Fit
Looking for a good reccomendation in the city for a pro bike fit.....
A workable GWB alternative: Have PA motorcycle cops escort cyclists across on weekends.
Here's a perfectly workable idea that costs the PA nothing: Have a PA motorcycle policemen escort cyclists—one in front, one in the rear—across the bridge on Saturdays and Sundays: every hour on the half hour to NJ from, say, 8:30 to 3:30; and every hour on the hour to NYC from, say, 9:00 to 4:00. (...and if the numbers warrant it, maybe just at 7AM and 7:30AM to NYC and 6:00PM and 7:00PM to NJ on weekdays to accommodate commuters.) Does this impede cars and trucks? Not really: as you ride along the bike and ped path, you often see you are going faster than they are.
As for the stairs, I can't tell you how well hard plastic cleats grip hard smooth stairs. Oh, wait, yes I can: they don't. Slip and fall at your own risk.

Escape New York - thank you Monica Miller
I will be sending a thank you to all of the Escape New York volunteers later today, but I especially wanted to reach out to Monica Miller who has put her heart and soul into this event all year. She is the Routes Director and also the Project Manager, which means she basically handled everything, including budget, and tried her best to bring me and the rest of the ENY Committee into the 21st Century with all kinds of wonderful project management tools.
Monica has been the real power behind the throne, so to speak, and she deserves a huge amount of credit.
For those who might not know her, she was the petite woman wearing an ENY jersey at ENY on Saturday checking everything out and making sure everything was going smoothly.

Dirty Apple anyone?
Has anyone done this ride with WCC? Is anyone planning to do it this year? Neile??
Looks like fun.
Board Nominations
It would be great if there was a place to read what each position entails. Might mke it easier to think of who could fill a role.
If there is such a desciption already, my apologies. But I sure can't find anything on this site.
NYPD Bike jacket needed!
Hi I'm working on Law and Order SVU- have a last minute need to find a NYPD Bike Patrol jacket that I need to get today. No luck at any of the police supply stores. Anyone have a lead on where to buy?
Please message me if you have a lead.
Thank you!
