Please note that I moved the start time ahead an hour to 6 am from GT for this ride so we can get home before the rain.

Your incentive point swag orders are in! I will be schlepping them to Toga and Bicycle Habitat sometime on Sunday. You will have from May 16th - June 5th to pick up. After that c'est la vie.

Hear ye, hear ye, hear all about it!

The  Board of Directors  of the NYCC is pleased to announce a new recognition award for graduates of the 2016 SIG's.

For any new graduate of any of this year's SIG's – if they were to lead 4 rides before year end – before 12/31/2016 – they will be eligible for a  prize NYCC jersey!  Has to be a regular Club ride, I think it's called  "Cue Sheet Ride" - training rides don't count, scouting rides don't, commuting to work, riding your trainer, taking spin classes - none of that kinda stuff counts. Regular "Cue Sheet Rides", lead  4 of them between graduation and year end and you get a NYCC jersey. 

My son wants to buy a child seat for his 2 year old son...the LBS

recommended buying a seat  located on the back of his road bike. My son

isn't sure this is the safest position.  Anyone have any recommendations

or experience??   Thanks for any info you can provide.

Unfortunately, GFNY doesnt offer transfers or refunds but it can be done....  I broke my collarbone riding and unfortunately can not ride this weekend.  

If anyone is interested in my entrance, let me know. Id provide at a discount.  I had a few friends do it last year: process is I pick up everything and provide it to you Friday sometime or Sat AM.  No issues last year from anyone I know that did it.

I saw something similar posted last year on NYCC, so hope this is not against the rules.

For people that ride laps at night in Central Park, there's a spot right around Tavern on the Green where the street lights are out.  It creates a dangerous condition because there's a crosswalk right there, and it's very easy to hit a pedestrian in the dark.  I almost did last night.

I've forgotten the name of our members with the connection to the Cental Park Consrvancy tha can get this fixed.  But it should be fixed.

There is a campaign to enforce the red light at 72 St on the West Drive before the transverse during commuting hours.  It is very obvious with lots of police cars and stopped cyclists.  This is the 2nd day in a row I've seen it at 9am.  Amazing that plenty of people continue to ride through and get tickets.  Pay attention.

Christy asked me to attend tonight's CP Precinct Community Council meeting to help keep members aware of issues that might be of interest.

A few points came up-

Be aware that tomorrow (Thursday) is the last day of a precinct-wide bicycle enforcement initiative with special attention to: Failing to Yield to Pedestrians and Disobeying a Steady Red Light.

While the Precinct commander and others would not give approval to ride through ride lights and reiterated that all laws must be obeyed, they remarked that cyclists excercizing "due caution" are less likely to be cited. However, egregious infractions and disregarding pedestrians would not be tolerated.

I need a rear, quick release fender for a frame that is oval.  Many detachable road fenders are made for standard round seat posts. My seat post and frame are carbon fiber and severely oval.  Any suggestions?
