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.

Bicycle Film Festival - New York returns to Anthology Film Archives (32 2nd Ave), June 25 - June 29. I've gone the last few years. Schedule includes a short film about racing at Floyd Bennett Field, and other films you're not likely to see elsewhere or otherwise: http://www.bicyclefilmfestival.com/city/new-york/

Has anyone here used a Saris Solo one bike rack.. any impressions.. I want the most compact rack for my mini cooper and my Bell rack does not fit..

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?

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.

Doing a scouting ride tomorrow (Saturday 21st).

Will start at Westbury train station (9:10 am) and will head up to Oyster Bay.

Then I will snake down to Jones Beach and then on to the new bike path to Tobay Beach where I will be getting some well deserved chow.

Ride ends at the Wantagh train station.

About 54 miles.

 B level (B18).

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.

Not exactly the smooth style we learn in the SIGS!
