Changing the cassette and the chain
I just changed the chain and and did a 65mi. 3400ft. ride. It still slips in the lowest gear. I guess it needs a new cassette. Can I use the chain that I just rode 65mi. with when I change the cassette?
B Sig Classification/Qualification
Can anyone tell me how this transates to Prospect Park laps?
In terms of speed, you should be able to complete 4 laps around Central Park in 2 hours or less. (Our fastest B18 riders will be in at 85 minutes or less.)
Thanks
get ready for winter

I certainly want to thank the officers who are leaving the board at the end of this year. . .and welcome those who are joining for the first time. I will – soon. But. . . . right now I want to acknowledge the election the Club had Tuesday, 11/8 for our Escape New York Director for 2017.

Bicyclist NYC marathon volunteer job
Does anyone know how to apply to become one of those bicyclists who ride behind the top runners in the marathon? They all seem to have a headset on to communicate any issues to a command center. Seems like it would be a cool gig.
"Why can't I find decent bikes for my kids?" revisited
Frog Bikes, seen at the Philly Bike Expo, answers the question with lightweight frames in a range of sizes (and colors!), decent components, and low Q factor. To me they're the revelation of this year's expo, aside from Stephen Bilenky's insane creations. Almost makes me wish I had a little kid again! Almost.
