Former NYCC president Geo Kaplan, 88 years old today.

Submitted by RRosenthal on Wed, 07/26/2017 - 10:34am

Oldsmobile used to have a model named the "88." Olds 88. To talk with Kaplan is to get the idea that 88 is not old.

Not all that long ago, a first-class bikeway was seen as a luxury, not a key piece of civic infrastructure. But times are changing. For the generations of Americans who grew up under the shadow of climate change, sustainability is way of life. Increasingly cities are recognizing that embracing sustainability is essential to attracting the top talent that keeps them competitive.

Reputable bike shop needed for bike inspection

Submitted by RFranco on Sun, 07/23/2017 - 7:21am

I know bike shops have been discussed ad nauseam but this question is slightly different. I would like to know which shop would be the best to have my carbon fiber bike evaluated post-crash and provide a written report of the inspection results for insurance purposes. The good news is I'm ok (besides some aches, pains, contusions) but my lovely bike is not.

Thanks for your advice!
