Sterling Forest Casino--Please Sign
This just came to my attention via the Appalachian Mountain Club. Apparently Sterling Forest State Park is being eyed as a possible site for the development of a casino. Please sign the petition below to speak out against this proposal.
For those not familiar, Sterling Forest is across the road from Harriman and is visited on many of our favorite cycling routes. It also contains some truly beautiful hiking terrain, including a section of the Appachian Trail.
Please note that the deadline for comments is Tuesday, September 30.
Now let's hear from the New York Times about cycling in Central Park
Address to 9/15 Town Hall with Polly Trottenberg
People,
Below is my address to the 9/15 Town Hall with NYC DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. Its themes of personal and collective responsibility unfortunately anticipate what would transpire in Central Park three days later.

Goodwill on the road
Today I rode alone, as I frequently do...a nice, easy recovery ride through Tenafly/Englewood. I was on 501 (Piermont Rd) coming home, stopped at a red light at Hudson (I think) when I got a short honk from the van to my left. The guy smiled and gave me a double thumbs up. I was confused...first, I thought he was complimenting my look (uh, trying to tell me I'm cute), and then I realized...he's actually praising me for stopping at the red light and WAITING till it turned to green. That felt good. Too many light busters out there (unsafe ones; I've been known to go when there's no one coming either way).

Looking for a Comedienne Cyclist to Host a New Podcast Series
Hi there! I'm working on a new website for women who ride (launching this fall) and I'd love to create a podcast series where a funny female host interviews top experts who will answer embarrassing or hard-to-ask questions about women and cycling, like tips for riding on your period, preventing ingrown hairs and saddle sores, hitting on the hot cyclists who does loops at the same time as you, etc.
Help Needed: MFA research project | Need volunteers
Hello, hello,
I am currently enrolled in an MFA program at The School For Visual Arts called Design For Social Innovation. It's a new program (first graduating class was this year), and essentially it takes the processes and methodologies of design, but instead of creating a new logo, we try to come up with solutions to social problems.
You've got to love this
Just an hour and a half ago, running west (with traffic) on the bike path on 9th St at 1st Avenue, a cyclist rode by me. He shook his head, saying what I was doing was dangerous. I told him I do it all the time.
Last I saw him, he made a right turn on 2nd Avenue, salmoning into bike traffic on the bike path, heading north.
Shall we open a new thread for uncharged killer drivers?
