The roads are wet and slick; fog is predicted for 6:00 AM so they won't be dry by then.

9W cleanup rides on Sunday, Oct 19

Submitted by GRoss on Mon, 10/13/2014 - 1:59pm

Several B & C rides are listed for Sunday's cleanup. We need you to sign up ASAP so I know how many refreshments to order. Also, it would be really nice if an A-ride is organized for the cleanup.

For those of you who havn't done this before, it is not onerous or messy. We will have latex gloves for those who don't want to get their hands dirty and the whole job, if enough people show up, takes less than a hour. Then there's plenty of time to enjoy a cool one with friends.

The Club should send our senior Senator some cycling kit. Perhaps he'll wear spandex, perhaps not but at a minimum, Chuck should be wearing a NYCC jacket and be using NYCC water bottles

Controversial planned GWB pedestrian lane attracts critics

Submitted by NWeissman on Sun, 10/12/2014 - 12:53pm

FORT LEE — For pedestrians and cyclists crossing the George Washington Bridge, there's good news: Renovations will double their existing pathway. But to some, it's also bad news: Complaints are already pouring in that the changes — costing $70 million — still won't be wide enough to accommodate a continuing boom in such traffic.
