"After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb."

Who said it?

I don't want to give it away in the opening window.

Scroll.

Keep scrolling.

Just go a little bit farther.

I use Keo clips and I need some new pedals.

On Saturdays on the north side of The Market's parking lot is a large black tent. Under it is a pro-mechanic who will work on your bike for free courtesy of R&A Cycle in Brooklyn. There, in addition to the mechanic, is Aldo Diaz, manager of R&A, who oversees this. And, no, not a word, not a single word of sales or promotion. Not about anything. Unless YOU bring it up.

In Englewood Cliffs (400 Douglas, near the top of Speer, an exceedingly challenging uphill), the Grossmans leave out flats of bottled water by their front door and invite you to take what you need, no questions asked, no thanks necessary; just take as you need and deposit the bottles in their recycling bin. 

Thinking about my next (2nd) bike. Since I'll keep my current Spz Allez, I'm thinking about staying with calipers since I can still swap wheels with my old bike and with my wife.

Are disks really a huge benefit? In special on the routes we do here? 9w, bear mountain etc?

Any NYCC-ers who happen to be in the area are invited.
