Any ideas?  Also, I am a B16 rider.  I realize that this ride trends uphill at 1 or 2%.  Any ideas as to how long this ride might take?  I plan to scout it, but that usually adds extra time, so any input is appreciated.

Just stumbled across this free air compressor in Battery Park (happily, right across the street from my office). 

Presta and Schraeder!

Has anyone seen any others?

Hey folks,

As part of our plan to revamp our website, we're looking for a club member with website design experience to help us pick a color scheme, look at our User Experience and find areas for improvement/simplification, and do whatever else a designer does :)

We expect this to be a low calorie exercise over the next few months. If you have the skills and want to contribute back to the club we'd love to have you! Please email [email protected]

With gratitude,

The NYCC Web Team

I've seen a police cruiser and its occupant writing up two cyclists (one each morning) for running the light there both of last two mornings, around 8:45 AM. He was set up just below where the drive access comes down from 72nd/CPW.

I can't say the attention seems misplaced in this case; this one is a bad light to run.

I'm staying up just outside of New Paltz for Labor Day with the family this weekend and they have allowed me to ride the bike back home. 

Does anyone have any good suggestions on which way to go back to the city?

Even better, is anyone interested in joining me? 

I'll be leaving relatively early on Monday 7 September and I'll go at ca. 18-20 mph. on flat terrain, depending on health, beer consumed the night before, terrain, and general grumpiness. :-)

I've used a simple cateye cyclometer forever and it gives me what I want, cadence, speed and distance. But on Saturday I'm buying a new bike ( slight brag ) and wondering if I should get a gps type device. I'm not interested in spending a ton on it especially since I'm already spending money on a bike, pedals, etc. If I'm being shortsighted by not getting a garmin type device then what should I look to get? I have a Wahoo heart rate monitor that I use at home but I'd prefer a simple/stupid device. 

By the way, I use the term gearhead in a complimentary way. 

Signs on River Road today (9/2) say the Edgewater entrance ( S of GWB) will be closed for the Labor Day weekend. 

Perhaps related, today there are barriers on RR north of the Ross Dock Circle and gates S of the Englewood Marina are closed. There are front loaders working on something just N or Ross Dock. I was able get thru, but there were no PIP cops present, so that may change.  

People,

New York Cycle Club is the sum of its volunteers.
