I was happy to see the SIG season in full swing and all the NYCC cyclists riding in straight lines on the roads of Bergen and Rockland county last week. Kudos to all the SIG leaders who give their time to show newbies how things are done safely and cooperatively while being considerate of other road users.

Following the scathing satire posted by an NYCC member (shameless plug!) on this very message board, this appeared on Yahoo today... http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/firefighters-smash-bmws-windows-stretch-hose-toward-8-164057449--abc-news-topstories.html?vp=1

... and yes, I am almost certain that some knucklehead parked his Chevy Cavalier, or Ford Escape, or ______________ (fill in the blank), in front of a fire hydrant yesterday, somewhere in America, as well... but... ;)

Took my bike in here for an overhaul and was treated very well.  My experience was: friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent wrenchwork, prompt turnaround, meticulous cleaning, reasonable pricing...and they are looking to join our discount program.  Principals are Pablo and Daniel.

What happened to the Resource topics

"What to pack with you and in your saddle bag?"

I know the old one was so 1980's, but if we find it I would like to re-compose and compile a list

for the club. I AM SURE THIS comes up in the SIG's But plenty of non-siggies can use the suggestions...(extra tube(s) ).

Powers to be let me know

NYCC members are invited to join NJBWC, BTCNJ and Bike New York in this protest ride against the variances granted LG Electronics by the borough of Englewood Cliffs. While the variances allowed additional development and a building height nearly four times the current borough zoning code, there are serious concerns in the transportation plan that the borough approved, regarding the safety of cyclists along Hudson Terrace, which abuts the LGE property. If you would like more details, please contact me at [email protected]
