Thanks, Susan Rodetis, three cheers and a hearty ring of a virtual cowbell...
... for organizing a fun night at the movies (and dinner for several of us afterward at Cleopatra's Needle) to see the new Warren Miller ski film at Symphony Space. Your hard work in putting together this event was much appreciated! Let it snow!
Terrific Bike Shop Experience
On the ride to Sagamore Hill today I had trouble with my front derailleur shifting. My cables were new and had apparently stretched a little. My hands were too cold and numb for me to want to deal with it myself. Fred Leffell pointed out a bikd shop on Oyster Bay Village's main street.
I went in and explained my problem to the owner. He knew exactly what to do, fixed it, had me ride around the block and test it, then checked it again. He refused to let me pay him.
The bike worked pertectly the rest of the ride (I didn't but the bike was fine)
The name of the shop is Cycle Haven. The owner is Derrick Nobman. Address 95 South Street, Oyster Bay, NY 11771; Telephone 516-382-0935; e-mail: [email protected]

Has anyone biked the gravel trail through Nyack Beach State Park/Hook Mountain State Park to Haverstraw lately? I haven't been there in years but am planning to go that way tomorrow . . . unless it's in terrible shape. Any advice appreciated.
Hearing on Bill Potentially Affecting Cycling Computer Use This Thursday
The New York City Council Transportation Committee is holding a hearing next Thursday on a bill that has widely been reported as a cellphone-while-biking ban, but could also be interpreted to outlaw use of cycling computers. The hearing is entitled: "Oversight - Leading the Way for Bicycling in America: Where is New York City Now and How Can We Improve?" Here are the details on the hearing.
A verbose thanks to Infinit – from a cyclist who tried it….
I’d just like to thank Infinit for donating some of their stupendous products to our club meeting raffle the other night, and indeed for fueling a thousand cyclists during ENY as well. Their contributions have been entirely magnanimous.
Just so you know, I sought out Infinit because they make great stuff – without the carcinogens, artificial colors & flavors, industrial emulsifiers, detergents, or other toxic flotsam suffusing the swill we often drink on rides. (Yes. That stuff really is in some popular sports drinks. Need I name the specific swill here? Isn’t it enough that they don’t deserve a single … accolade?....)
