Question for Fixie Riders

all 3 of you out there...

I kind of understand the theory of better traction in this frozen slop on asphalt. In actuality, are you any less likely to wipeout if you have to ride through slush/snow/ frozen stuff underneath (NYC street corner)?

Is it still possible to purchase the gorgeous NYCC Merino wool jersey that was designed and sold a few years ago? Please reply directly to me at: [email protected]. A long time club membr inquired and we could not find it on the website.

Thanks very much,

Bicycling Magazine (March 2015 issue) has a list of "26 Ways to Hang With Faster Friends". There are some good things included in the article, but they miss what I consider the best way, and that is to actually ride with faster friends (and make new ones at the same time).

Heart Rate Monitors

I have noticed that there seems to be an effluent of new tech HRMs coming on the market. Yes as cyclists and runners,, ie fit people, these little gadgets can be handy. But is there really a huge market beyond sporty types for HRMs. 

Are we moving toward a time when people will be checking their HR over coffee with a donut along with latest tweets and texts.

More importantly what are these new HR aware people going to do with the information. Is this the device that is going to warn people off that second slice of pie. Are we going to see those Cadilac size bums reduce.. will we see a drop in Diabetes..
