Don't know if anyone heard but there was an interview withe so called Public Affairs Dir of LG   Who basically said that  the building was going through no matter what. And for someone who is supposed to be some kind of public ambassador for the company he came off as having a huge bad attitude. 

a total bully. Many American companies are so entrenched in the structure of this country they basically run it. Democracy try oligarcy. In other news, and I find this particularly outrageous, the Senate upheld companies right to penalise employees who share their pay details. How soon before there is a camera in every room and a chip in the brain. 

Written on my Eye phone sorry any mistakes

I rode River Road this morning and there is a rock side blocking about 1/3 of the road on left side about 3/4 of the way up to the Parkway Police Station.

"DOT will install Upper Manhattan’s first protected bike lane this summer, pending an endorsement from Community Board 12.

The parking-protected lane would run north-south on Fort George Hill, which is one-way southbound for drivers, between Fairview Avenue and Dyckman Street/Nagle Avenue. Its installation would be part of a slate of new bike facilities and refurbishments planned for Washington Heights and Inwood, which DOT initially revealed last spring. DNAinfo reports that DOT brought the plans back before the CB 12 transportation committee on Monday.

Was wondering if after reaching the orchards,  is there a better way ( and shorter ) to come back down again and ride back to the GW.   OR just to back track, using the same route as going up?

Thanks

Does anybody have an alternative to Riverside Drive as a route to the GWB?

The drive is in such bad shape heading up there after work in rush hour traffic is not a pleasant experience. Is Morningside or Amsterdam any better?

Thanks.

the list can be found here: http://nycc.org/resources/road-bike-rentals

If you have reliable first-hand information about changes or other places you can let me know - I will at one point update this list but for now, this should help everyone in need of a "real bike" rental.

The buckle on the left shoe of my Sidi Dominator 3 has developed a release problem over the past year. I procrastinated as long as I could. Now I have to loosen it as far as it can go, then slip the shoe off my foot. To release the plastic toothed strap I need to slip a knife blade between buckle and teeth, then slide the strap out. 

I used an emory board to sharpen up the deformed teeth: no change.

I swapped the buckle with one from an old pair that worked: no change.

I returned the buckle back to the shoe closed it, then opened it with the strap from the old shoe: it worked.
