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?

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!

  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. 

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. 

I will be in Willingmington, DE next week. Does anyone know of any good rides in that area. Anything close will work; I  have a car.

The article's focus is on ecological management of the Hudson River estuary, but the principle that PA fulfill its historic function are a manager of regional transport infrastructure is easily extended to having them reorganize it on a sustainable basis.

In that context, investing in a modern bike paths across the GWB to facilitate NO-emission travel for a dollar per trip (if that) is a heckuva lot more cost effective than subsidizeing LOW-emission vehicles for up $7.50/trip.

I added the GWB bike path point to "Comments".  Please feel free to "Like".

Has anyone ever rode the Tour De Pink charity ride? I was thinking of riding this year--

Thought it went through Hershey Park - but route is now Philadephia to Maryland

Thanks

I know it's an early train but that will allow us to start riding before 9 AM in Poughkeepsie. It's 84 miles loop with lots of miles on nice roads with wide shoulders including NY Bicycle 9. I'm open to making the ride a bit longer in consideration of the long day but I thought this was about right. I'm also open to trying to up the pace to 19 but I'm only willing to commit to the listed 18 pace. It's a lovely area and I think the views from Olana will be quite nice.

I'm contemplating signing up. Was wondering if someone who is familiar with both Rockland climbs such as Clausland,Ash,Bear,Little Tor etc could contrast it with the Devil's Kitchen climb.  My Garmin if it's accurate seems to tell me I've climbed as steep as 17% for short distances, however the site for Catskill Fondo has mention of climbs hitting 22%. I looked the route up on RideWithGPS but it's still hard to putinto context so hoping someone who has done the route can chime in. Thanks
