The milling and repaving has started on Hudson Terrace and riding north the traffic was being diverted over to 9W on Bayview Ave.  I elected to ride over to 9W as did other cyclists I saw, but if you want to take on the milled pavement I was told cyclists were being allowed through on Hudson Terrace--though I can't personally confirm that.  

…why doesn't the NYPD simply sit along any bikeway and ticket cyclists going the wrong way?

• It would be easy ticketing of "low-hanging fruit," just like riders in Central Park, the difference being they'd actually address a real problem. Ticketing a cyclist riding the wrong way would be no harder than ticketing someone rolling through a red light in the park. In fact, it would be even easier.

• In terms of PR for the NYPD, news media would LOVE this and feature it prominently on newscasts and in the papers…

• …and both pedestrians and cyclists would applaud it, as well. Everyone wins (except salmoning cyclists).

So… why has this not happened?

The weather is not looking good for Tuesday morning.  I hope to see you Thursday.

I just want to use it to create and export routes to my Garmin 1000. Is there any reason to pay for the premium version, other than to support the creators? What does the premium version allow you to do that the basic one doesn't?

Why don't recreational cyclists take large locks on rides?

We arrived at Alpine at about 9:45 AM and left maybe 15 minutes later. I noticed after we left that it was gone. I took a photo at 9:49 AM of the rack at Alpine, and the photo shows it's still on the bike. 

I reported it to the police at the station and interstingly, none of their 5 survaillance cameras monitor the bike rack (if a crime was to happen it would happen somewhere in the empty open lot, not anywhere near the bike rack, right?)

Lately I've noticed there seems to be a certain class of roadie that gets offended if I pull left to pass on the GWB and don't immediately swerve the bike back over to the right when I'm done. And don't maintain the rightmost possible line thereafter, even if there's adequate passing room without. If I'm out on my tandem especially, yeah, it's a slightly wide bike, but it's also best not to steer the tandem too dramatically, so...

Yesterday this took the form of a faster roadie barking something like "Move to your right!" at us.

Today I took a small group to Piermont and used Hickory to get from Andersn to County Road/Piermont Road. It was pretty torn up for most of its length.

Has anyone been on Hardenburgh or Homans recently and knows their condition between Anderson and County Road?

They may be similar; it's been a tough winter.
