Tuesday morning encounter
I rode in the park Tuesday morning. I do loops around Harlem Hill. A nicely organized double pace line passed me at one point (sometime between 6 & 7am). As we approached the bottom of the hill by the pool, they came up on my right (no "on your right"), and got very, very close. A fellow said good morning—his handlebars were probably 6 inches from mine. A little too close for me... maybe not for you, but definitely for me, especially when passing at close to 20mph.
Volunteer Party....Thanks again for your efforts
Thanks to all who braved the inclement weather to make it down to Union Square for the Volunteer Party. The party was for all who help make the club run as well as it does, and we are always looking for more volunteers across all levels and events! Next year let's make the party even bigger with more volunteers!

Manhattan shops with internal-hub expertise
My year-old commuter bike has a Shimano Nexus internal hub (8 speeds). I've got the little indicator marks in alignment but still have trouble with the hub from time to time--such as it coming out of gear entirely. Does anyone know what shops in Manhattan have expertise with that equipment?
Thanks,
Hannah
