does anyone know of the legality of walking on the grass with a bike between 7 lakes drive and bear mountain exit 17. i asked a few people but wanted further assurance that this is safe.

Basically . . anything circular from a bike?  (except chains)

I'd like to do a holiday project with them. (And - - happy to help ya clear out some old stuff laying around :>)

Thank you!

Was thinking about new route options.  I normally approach Bear from either 9w or from Seven lakes. I've never ridden GateHill/Ceder Flats going North (I've only done it South ala GFNY route). Any fans? It seems mostly downhill after doing the WillowGrove/Gatehill Strava segment which was a little disappointing.

Anyone care to drop some commuting knowledge on me?

I recently moved from Park Slope, one of the most bike commuter-friendly neighborhoods in the city, to Forest Hills — a neighborhood that I've known, and have now experienced, to be very very car-centric. 

I've been troubleshooting my commute to the far-West side of midtown Manhattan. At the same time, I'm slowly learning which roads in Queens to avoid. (Like Myrtle Avenue for instance, which is just pure vehicular manslaughter.)

Would anyone have a great playlist they can make available to our holiday party?  Thanks,  Bob

My company is planning on purchasing 3 cargo trikes to make pickups in Manhattan.  We need something that would have a sizable bin to hold maybe 5 – 10, 30-gallon garbage bags filled with clothes.  The bin should be enclosed and lockable, as we would go from building to building and would need to lock it while the cyclist driver went inside to make pickups.  Revolution Rickshaw is one possibility.  Any others?

Some creep stole this bike from the front door of it rightful owner, one of my Citi Bike comrades.

I'm considering getting a new titanium frame in the new year. I could travel up to Signature Cycles in their new location in CT, or go local. Anyone want to recommend a shop they've used recently (i.e. in the last year or so) in the 5 boroughs that they'd like to recommend?
