Seeking someone to join me as navigator/helper as I drive around this Friday morn thru mid-afternoon in a cargo van picking up food and supplies for Saturday's Ride to Montauk.

 In return, you get a "comp" to that ride or another of his rides this year or next ( http://www.nycbicycleshow.com/Bike_Shows/Home.html ).

Call me directly if interested.  347.306.5444.

The NYCC has picked up 20 tickets for a minor league baseball game on Monday, June 16th, 7:00 PM, at the MCU Park in Coney Island!

The game is the Brooklyn Cyclones vs the Staten Island Yankees.  Tickets are $14 each.

Sign-up here:  http://nycc.org/node/70232

Now that the Berkshires weekend has come and gone, it's time to think ahead...not that far ahead, actually!  The rooms are filling and we have a limited number this year, so first come, first served.  Please be aware that signing up and not continuing to Paypal to seal the registration with a payment does NOT guarantee you will have a room.  So what are you waiting for?  It will be another spectacular weekend of riding, swimming, eating, and mingling with others who have the same passion          (READ: obsession) with cycling!

NYC Car Crash Resources

http://nyccaraccident.net

While NYCC has linked to the site on its Safety page, I want to make sure everyone knows it's there.

NYCCers (including Dr. Ed Fishkin and Steve Vaccaro) contributed mightily to my research.

Real-life testimonial: I recently needed the information myself, and it helped me keep my wits and make rational decisions at an irrational time. (No car involved; I'm fine.)

It's also good to know how to help others, in case you witness a crash.

This info was in a recent release by the League of American Bicyclists with regard to their Bicycle-Friendly Communities rankings:

"...just last week we heard from the New Jersey Bike/Walk Coalition that a drop of 5 places in the rankings (highlighted by the coalition) was sufficient to unlock a “safe passing”  bill in the legislature that had been stuck. A quick alert to our members in New Jersey generated welcome back-up to the Coalition members testifying in the New Jersey legislature –- and once again the outcome was a win for bicyclists: a four foot passing law passed out of Committee and onto the next stage."  

Good work by our NJ colleagues!

I am avid cyclist and am part of the Big Brother program of NYC and am trying to get it to rub off on my little.  He is a freshman in high school and isn't a very experienced rider.  I took him to Floyd Bennett Field which proved to be a very good learning place since the runways are super wide and not a lot of other people around.  We rode for over 6 miles without incident so I think he is ready to try a little longer ride.  Isn't there an old railroad path up in the bronx near Cortland Park somewhere?  Anyone know a good place I could park the car and access this route with him without having to ride on trafficed roads because he isn't ready for riding with traffic.

Thanks!
