The Bicycle and the Ride to Modern America
Fun article from The New York Times about an exhibition at the Smithsonian. It asks an interesting question, "The Bicycle, invention or discovery?"
"Tires and tubing, mass production and women’s suffrage, highways and gas stations all were influenced by the machine, the Bicycle, featured in a new Smithsonian exhibit."

Silly sightseeing rides?
"Theme rides" is a better sounding name I heard. Basically, rides that go to places of special (read: silly) interests only appeal to some subset of the membership population.
A side benefit of visiting out of way places, such routes would typically includes roads no one thought of riding. Sometimes nice, quiet country roads, other times scenic but unpaved sections with significant ascent/descent.
Epic ride across Wisconsin...
Guessing it is not in the NYCC ride library.

Favorite shop in 5-boros for shoe and pedal shopping? (With some guided assistance.)
I'm on SPD right now and would like to check out Speedplays and SPD-SL.
Does anyone have any favorite shops specifically for trying out shoes and pedals? Looking for: selection, patience, all that good stuff. Thanks.
