Any events in CP on July 1st?

Submitted by CTaber on Wed, 06/28/2017 - 9:01pm

I'm planning to start a ride this weekend on Saturday July 1st in CP at the boathouse parking lot.  Does anyone know of any known runs or rides that will cause any closure in the park bike route? I checked the CP website and did a search on CP and this date, but nothing seems like a problem (didgeridoo festival, anyone?).  What are other sites or methods I may be missing?

Bike organizations in need of bikes?

Submitted by NuriaF on Wed, 06/28/2017 - 2:27pm

Hi! Does anyone know of non-profit organizations in the NYC area that would need (and appreciate) a bike donation? I'm getting rid of my 2012 hybrid, and rather than sell it for a couple of bucks, I'd like to donate it to an organization that would make a good use of it. Any suggestions?

NYYC member and bike fit expert, Happy Freedman, works with Ben Serotta on Custom bike build.   Happy is a bike fit expert working out of the Hospital for Special Surgery and was genraus enough to host 2 bike fit demonstrations for the NYCC B SIG this year.  His approch and methods are little diferent then other bike fitters and worth looking at.  Below is the link to the article by Ben Serotta.

Next evolutionary step for Claudia's Bike and Row?

Submitted by GYang on Tue, 06/27/2017 - 5:37pm

From this year's America's Cup race -

"...the Kiwis...revealed a secret: four stationary-bike grinding stations on each side of the 15-meter catamaran instead of the usual arm-powered pedestals. The idea? Pedal power creates the energy to work the control systems and maneuver the wing sail. ...Leg muscles can obviously provide more power than arms."

Volunteer of the Month

Submitted by CGuzzetta on Tue, 06/27/2017 - 9:35am
Every month, we have a "Volunteer of the Month".  Nominations are submitted to [email protected] and these nominations are passed along to our secret "Volunteer of the Month" committtee.  This committee is made up of 1 'A' rider, 1 'B' rider, and 1 'C' rider.  They consider the contributions and decide which of the nominees wins the day.  The committee insists on anonymity so as not to be hounded with pressure from our membership who to vote for.  Would our membership really do something like that?  No way. Our membership?
