If there’s anyone at NYCC working in the bicycle industry, or if anyone could make an introduction, please let me know.

Cunningham Park Greenway Reconstruction

Submitted by michael on Sun, 04/09/2023 - 6:36pm

There is construction going on in Cunningham Park. The greenway is fenced off from 199th Street to the bridge over Springfield Boulevard. We can get on the greenway at Springfield Boulevard using ramps on either side of the bridge.

The construction is supposed to be done this summer.

Although it is fenced off, there is a hole in the fence on 199th Street and one can definitely sneak through it and ride the existing greenway – but I would never suggest that you should break the rules. Behave yourselves!

Bathrooms in Woodlawn Playground Temporarily Closed

Submitted by Ness Rahmey on Fri, 04/07/2023 - 10:16am

As of yesterday afternoon, both bathrooms in Woodlawn Playground on Van Cortlandt Park East are closed temporarily.

The "Temporarily Closed" signs gave no indication of why they were closed or when they would reopen. There was no evidence of maintenance or construction work either. Hopefully it's a brief closure.

We had two presenters discuss basic bike maintenance last night at Connolly's I was one and other was the service manager for several TREK stores in this area. His presentation was superb. I leave the evaluation of my presentation to others.

there were several questions about products for cleaning bikes, lubing chains etc. I didn't think of it last night but I suggest that it can be worthile to look up the "Material Data Safety Sheet" every manufacturer of chemical products must post with OSHA. They are easy to find on the internet, just enter the manuafturet's name and MSDS.
