Electric Bike Rentals
Does anybody know of LBS that rents electric bikes? I have vistor with a disability, coming to town and want them to join me on a ride around the city?
Thanks for any help.
If I had two heroes in cycling, they would be...
1. Whoever invented the bike. (That credit is in dispute.)
2. Graeme Obree. Here's a trailer of a film about him being premiered this week in Edinburgh.http://www.thebikecomesfirst.com/battle-mountain-graeme-obrees-story-trailer/
This barely touches on why the man demands to be admired, but it's a start. Fair warning: It's bloody hard to break through his Scottish accent.
2014 Incentive gear arrival?
Any idea when the 2014 incentive gear we ordered earlier in the year will be arriving? Has anyone received theirs yet?
What Side of the Road to Ride on Question
I was coming up RSD W. to the GWB and made the right onto 155th St. to go RSD, the way most every club ride goes. When you make the left onto RSD the cars are on your right. As a cyclist, shouldn't I be on the right next to the cars? That is what is done on every club ride that I've been on but I got into a little argument with a cyclist yesterday. Although I don't think he should be arguing safety when he's wearing ear buds!
Is this an OUTRAGEOUS charge to rent a bike for a day? Or is this competitive?
Someone from California joined the NYCC just to be able to ride with us when she visits NYC (only once a year and just these past two years). She rented a terrific bike and rode with us yesterday. Rental price: $150 a day!!! That seens OUTRAGEOUS to me (three exclamation points, bold, and caps outrageous). Is it? Or am I, in my dotage, so out of touch with things today and that is competitive? (She rented from Toga.)
The Syosset Fire House
.
Is no longer available as a trusted and spaceous pit stop. The doors are locked to cyclists (I mean the "General" public) due to our messiness (I mean "security" reasons).
They taped a sign at the front door. I guess that makes it legal.
Cancelled: Honoring Our Father Ride
Due to the confusing (and wet) weather, we are cancelling this ride. But we may do next Saturday. Check the ride listings... Sorry we can't do today!!! Leonora and Ellen
Bicycle Sunday change
Due to heavy rain in the morning which is forecast to end by 1PM, we are not going to be able to bike up to Scarsdale to make it onto the Parkway in time (bikes have to be off by 1:50 pm). My alternate plan is a 1PM start using the original route to Scarsdale Road and continue north on the Bronx River Parkway to White Plains where we resume the original cue sheet. The return will also use the Greenway in lieu of the Parkway.
This is subject to the rain actually stopping as forecast. If at 12:30 pm its not tapering off...
