Red Hook Crit
I went and checked out the Red Hook Crit last night.
OMG, BADASS!
If you haven't been (or even if you have), check out the video I made from the final two races.
Placing bikes on seats on Metro North trains
When trains are not crowded, the train can accommodate our bikes safely when we place them on seats. If an emergency was to arise and the train had to be evacuated quickly, the bikes could stay where they are and not interfere with passengers evacuating the train.
However, it has come to my attention that there are concerns about grease and dirt, possibly be left behind by contact with moving parts to seats.
We NYCC members need to be scrupulous as ambassadors of cycling to our greater community.
Therefore the problem needs to be addressed by one of 2 ways:
Carry newspaper, or any disposable paper, to place between any moving/greasy/dirty parts of the bike and seat.

Question about van cortland park bike path
I am seeking info about this park's bike path. I ride with my son,who is teenager. I am thinking of riding the Van Cortland Park trail north from the south end of the park. I would like to know:
Is the trail hilly, or a dfficult ride? We are casual cylists riding hybrid bikes. We can do a 30 mile, reasonaby flat, ride. I assume that it is safe. How crowded is it on nice weekend morning?
When we get to the north end of park, I think we can connect with other parks. How do the parks connect? Will we need to ride in traffic?
How far north can we go before we get to the end, or to some hills that casual cyclists would consider challenging? I have looked at maps, but it is unclear
Hudson Terrace is repaved and open
Hudson Terrace is completely repaved and was open to traffic this afternoon. It is not yet restriped; there are just some yellow marks where the center line will be.

CP Police renew their preferential enforcement policies
For the last 3 days I have witnessed cyclists being stopped by CP police for going thru red lights. I have also avoided dozens of pedestrians "space walking" thru red lights; with the GREEN light in my direction-with no police intervention. Just like last year.
Why don't the police consider our safety from pedestrian fault?
