I am forever amazed how exceedingly highly accomplished are some of our members. I just watched two hours f a 3-part documentary on PBS about war crimes and atrocities, including our own: Afghanistan, Congo, WWII Germany, Guatamala, Iraq, Rwanda, Srebrenica, Vietnam, and the search for justice arising from them. At the end of it was the credit of the writer, producer, and director—all the same person. The person? To my great surprise: Jonathan Silvers, former member of the NYCC.

Self guided bike tours - Europe

Submitted by knitandthecity on Tue, 03/28/2017 - 7:23am

Looking for information on Self Guided tour operators in Europe. If you have experience - chime in. I'm looking to ride solo...nothing insanely hard, but not flat roads. I want to feel like I worked! I'm also not overly interested in France, Italy or Spain - but if you have experience there, I'd like to hear it because maybe I'll change my mind. I'm leaning toward Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovenia, etc. Riding in late september/early october.

Gotham Bikes has closed

Submitted by Myles Lewis on Mon, 03/27/2017 - 2:23pm

I noticed today Gotham Bikes on Reade St in TriBeCa has closed. I don't know how long they have been closed but it's a shame to lose an independent bike shop but I guess it's a tough retail climate for everyone these days. I know they were owned by the people who own Toga Bikes which seems to have been a busier location. 

Looking for Bike Club in Cleveland, Ohio

Submitted by CCaron on Sun, 03/26/2017 - 2:08pm

Hi All, I have moved to Cleveland and I'm looking for a bike club here, preferably one similar to NYCC (well, one can dream).  I miss New York and the club more than you can imagine!  But if you can suggest a good bike club in Cleveland, I'd appreciate it!  Thanks, Chaim Caron
