We will be meeting at the last stop on the #4 in the Bronx (Woodlawn Station) instead of the 242nd Street stop on the #1.  But, the weather is not looking great so keep checking the Message Board to see if we are riding Saturday.  If the weather is bad, we will postpone to Sunday.

We are a membership-based cycling club. We put a lot of hard work and focus into providing fantastic rides for our members. And we will continue to do that.

But we are also here to promote cycling... and, as an organization, promote the best of ourselves.

From the League of American Bicyclists:

"Please contact Congress and tell them to respect all commuters: Under current law people who drive to work get almost twice the parking benefit as transit riders get for transit.

Starting this past January, transit benefits slipped from $245 a month to $130, and parking benefits increased from $245 to $250. Meanwhile, the bike benefit stayed at $20 a month -- but under a current bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, the bike benefit would be repealed all together."
