2015 Ghost Bike Ride - save the date! 4/19

Hi all

Just wanted to give a heads up for this annual ride which covers the five boroughs to pay respects to riders who died in the previous year. 2015 marks the tenth anniversary of Street Memorials' rides in NYC, so if you've never done one of these, this is a good one to get in on.

The ride will be Sunday, April 19. There are several rides running simultaneously in each borough, and they have different starting times between 9 AM and 12 noon. All rides converge around 4:30 PM on the final bike; this year that will be near city hall.

Nice piece in the New Yorker on Steve Fulop, the cyclist and somewhat quixotic mayor of Jersey City: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/04/06/iron-mayor

There was a sign today indicating that milling and paving of Hudson Terrace--presumably from where they stopped it last year up to Palisade Avenue, will start on or about April 13th.

Jay Jacobson's account of his Kerala (India) cycling holiday is a great read.

Dunno if I'm a latecomer, but I just read Jay's scintillating account of his cycle trip there. What a great post: http://nycc.org/node/74157.

I'm contemplating a bike frame lifter for my new mixte. Has anyone tried it?

Just got off the phone with PA GWB guy. BOTH sides will be closed this weekend. He couldn't (or wouldn't) give me any further info...just that there were emergency repairs. On both sides. I even asked why it couldn't have been taken care of during the week. RADIO SILENCE.
