Were the 2013 and 2014 Newcomer's rides to the same destination?

Proper Tire Pressure

Submitted by johnvic on Wed, 06/03/2015 - 6:35pm

My new tires list the pressure range as 85 to 115 psi. I've always just pumped my tires to max pressure, never really thought about it. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of filling tires to different pressures?

Looking for cyclists to be interviewed for dissertation project

Submitted by ncosta1 on Tue, 06/02/2015 - 10:42pm

My name is Nicole. I'm a grad student working on my dissertation which focuses on ghost bike memorials in New York City and New Orleans. I'm interested in interviewing cyclists about their experiences riding in the city. I'm also interested in interviewing any person who has had an interaction with or connection to a ghost bike.

I'm in the New York area for the next week if anyone would be interested in being interviewed in person and also can conduct interviews via telephone or Skype at your convenience. While I can't offer any compensation for the interviews, your experiences and input would be invaluable.

I generally like to wait until morning to make a decision about weather but all the weather sites agree that it's going to be wet so I'm canceling.  Maybe I'll see you in spin class!

John Kerry breaks leg cycling. Out of the Tour de France. In fact, out of France.

Submitted by RRosenthal on Sun, 05/31/2015 - 9:14am

Literally Breaking News item just sent from Spain by NYCCer Liviu Goldenberg. (He didin't suggest we open this to whether or not Kerry was wearing a helmet or ought to have been.)  Hmmm, Bono. Kerry. Here's a reality TV Show idea. "Celebrity Rider." See who can best negotiate the mazes we call streets.
