Central Park Car free hours?
I thought Central Park was car free before 8am? Have been riding in the park the past two weeks and it seems that 7:15-7:30 it becomes a free for all? Did they change the hours?
Talcum powder for inner tubes makes them more puncture proof?
I am trying to find a balance between quality of the ride and frequency of fixing flats... I like Vittoria tires, recently installed SR tyres:

And Vittoria latex inner tubes :

That brings better ride quality but it’s apparently more puncture proof.
I am wondering if adding talcum powder while installing the above tyres/tubes will reduce the number of flats?

Charging $ for the Newcomer's Ride lunch?!?!
Since when do we charge money for lunch for the Newcomer's Ride? This ride is meant to welcome newcomers to the Club. What kind of welcome is it to charge for lunch? Please rethink this; it seems like the Club is becoming more of a business than a recreational, volunteer-run, cycling Club.

I've looked all through the NYCC Calendar, http://nycc.org/calendar/2014-07, and I don't see a Newcomers' Ride or an All-Class Ride. Are these happening this year?
Shipping Bikes
Hey guys/gals,
We used these folks to ship two bikes to KC, then from St Louis to home. Great service, great price, prompt delivery, fast, helpful customer service. Marilyn and I are now fans, and we want to share this resource with you.
