We want to participate in this ride but need to know where we can rent bikes.  We'll be in town for the weekend visiting from Colorado.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

Hudson Terrace repaving update

Submitted by BHafkin on Fri, 09/12/2014 - 3:01pm

At 2pm today the southbound lane from Strictly to the bridge was being milled. At the time you couldn't ride it even if you wanted to as the crews were working. We ended up riding/walking the sidewalk but if we'd known we would've stayed on 9W.

Riverside Drive painting/striping

Being done today, I can vouch for 110th St and northward for 5 or 10 blocks, they're sure to continue up to the end of the recent repaving area, if not today then tomorrow.

If it kicks up onto your frame you'll have a &%$@#! tough time getting it off. If you inhale the noxious fumes, well...

Moving companies with good bike handling skills?

Submitted by YehuditS on Thu, 09/11/2014 - 11:52am

I'll be moving back to Europe (Sweden) by the end of the year and I'm looking to find international moving companies that also can take care of my three babies. Any recommendations, warnings? 

Thanks!

Summer Jannin' Series - thank you Juan and Matt

Summer Jammin’

Hard to believe, 6 months of Summer Jammin’ rides.

I did the math, seriously, we did an accumulated 24,006 miles around Central Park during these past 6 months.

YIKES!

With nothing other than a minor mishap, it sure was safe, one of the safest morning lap series yet.

We talked a lot about a lot of things during these past  6 months; a lot about safety,  about MPH, a lot about pacelines, about flicking our elbow, about raccoons, short pulls, about racers, the lousy game of leap frog, about pedestrians, about tri geeks, French poodles, police, and, and, and. . . .  .

We did not, however, talk about one other thing, the most important of all.

That being Matt and Juan.

Those guys are the greatest!

This looks like fun for the kids and for those of us who still act like kids.

On Saturday September 13th we’re bringing the Sugar Cayne Bike Fest to Brooklyn Bike Park for a day of friendly pump track competitions. We’re super amp’d to bring our event to our home turf in NYC and since this is our first time doing the event at a pump track we created some unique competitions along with a few familiar ones.
