CRI Answer to Cancer Ride

Submitted by nychef on Mon, 06/20/2016 - 3:05pm

Is anyone doing the Answer to Cancer Ride on 6/25?

I'm planning to ride GWB -> Highland Falls on 6/24 if anyone wants to join me for an easy 60-70 miles. I'll list it as an official ride if people are interested.

Recommendations for mechanic familiar with Campagnolo?

Submitted by RKlein on Mon, 06/20/2016 - 12:08pm

Mark Purdy, who was my go to mechanic for years, has left NYC, so I am looking for a good shop/mechanic who is familiar with Campy parts (most shops can do just fine, but not everyone has all the tools and many shops just don't seem to be as comfortable as they are with Shimano or Sram).  Conrad's and Master Bike spring to mind, but I was wondering if anyone had other suggestions?

I know you hate poetry, but read this classic poem with George in mind.

George was not chronologically young in the sense A.E. Housman posits, but read this poem and think of George. It fits.

Today's outrage on the GWB.

2nd place goes to the putz who just had to ride into the oncoming lane of cyclists, who then had to stop for him; otherwise he would have been held up for, oh, say three seconds had he not gone around the walker.

But, no, the clear winner of First Place for Most Inconsiderate and Dangerous on the bridge today was the security guard--a heavyset woman--who thought the shade would most suit her so she positioned herself in one of the turns around one of the stanchions. Said I, coming up to her, "Good place to stand!" Said she, "I think so." Said I, "Oh, I know YOU do."

Seeking recommendations on registering complaints with the NYPD

Submitted by peter.waltman@g... on Sat, 06/18/2016 - 11:35pm
I'm curious if anyone knows if it is possible for cyclists to report violations to the police, and have them enforced. If not that, what mechanism exists by which cyclists can lodge complaints with the police; and more importantly, have the police take it seriously?
