Why you Bike to Nyack?

Submitted by NWeissman on Fri, 06/20/2014 - 2:49pm
NyackNewsAndViews is preparing a "Things to Do in Nyack" as a tourism pitch and has asked for short (25-50 word) personal statements about why Nyack is a "great destination" for cyclists.  It's also as a plug for NYCC.

Does anyone know a store/person who can do reliable and fairy affordable bike fittings?

Thanks a lot!

Shifter Problem

Submitted by LGodfrey on Wed, 06/18/2014 - 7:36am

I had a major tune up for my 'errand' bike and when I picked it up the shifter was slipping between gears. This didn't happen before I brought it in. Could the shifter been messed up during the tune up? 

Shifter Question

Submitted by LGodfrey on Wed, 06/18/2014 - 7:02am

I had my 'errand bike' fully tuned and when I got it back the shifter wasn't shifting correctly. It slid from higher to lower, skipping in betweens... It wasn't like that before I brought it in. Could the bike store inadvertantly mess this up in the cleaning/tuning of the bike, or is it more likely that I just need a new shifter?

Which Boston bike club is most like NYCC?

Submitted by JFinder on Tue, 06/17/2014 - 5:18pm

I'm in the early stages of organizing a group ride to take place in Cambridge, MA, in June 2015.  We'll probably start with a tour of Cambridge and then continue on to a nearby area such as Medford or Stoneham.

Please tell me if there's a club in Boston like NYCC, with a library of rides and lots of friendly people to answer questions and make suggestions.  (To supplement whatever I can find on RWGPS, etc.)

Bonus points for a Cambridge bike shop with a large supply of rental bikes.  Thanks!

Progress on the North County Trailway

Submitted by SWasserman on Tue, 06/17/2014 - 4:17pm

  The closed section after the Croton bridge crossing is now open. Well, partly open with a fence still closing half the width so that it's single file for a short stretch. This is more of a big deal for walkers/runners who must have liked the detour less than cyclists. 

3 calls you should make today to lower the NYC speed limit.

What's that? You're not a member of TA? Shame on you. Here's their urgent call today. It calls on you to make three calls:

State Sen. Jeff Klein introduced a speed limit bill.  It is stalled in partisan disagreement. Three key officials have the power to bring consensus and the bill to the Senate floor.
