Although the cyclist was riding well to the right, there was little traffic. I was running on the granite paved gutter, all the way to the right. As the cyclist passed me, I began to step to the left to pass a slower running in front of me. Had the runner not been in the gutter as well, I would have passed to the right. 

The visibility was unobstructed and the cyclist should have given more space passing runners in any case. However, he should have anticipated that I was about to pass the runner in front of me.

There was no accident and I doubt the cyclist even gave it a thought that we almost collided.

detour uses  Brodway/505 Livingston/Paris both ways    according to Norwood PD

Pretty stuff.

Can someone post a link to this route? I can't seem to find it on Ride w/GPS. There seem to be many routes, but not the one I'm looking for.

Thanks!

The prize: Good karma.

There's just one ride listed at the B-level on either Saturday or Sunday. I know it's SIG/STS season and many people are busy; if you're not one of the many in those groups there's an opportunity for you. The weather will be fairly pleasant... can I help you schedule some more rides? Email me at [email protected] - I'd love to help you pick a great route!

Will the weather EVER change?

I'm going to keep a beater bike in the basement of my building, and rather than bring a bike pump with me each time I go down there I'd like to just leave one there.  However, I am quite certain that anything I leave there will grow feet quickly enough.  

Can anyone recommend a relatively cheap (say, less than $40) floor pump which can be locked easily enough with a cable lock?  Basically I'll just lock the pump to my bike - I'm looking to make it inconvenient enough to steal that people will hopefully leave it alone.

Thanks,

John F

... who's in your club?

Every once in a while, Richard Rosenthal posts a notice about the accomplishments of some of our members. We've several writers who have done work for the Grey Lady, postal service workers, lawyers (even partners at major firms), teachers, photographers, civil servants (the ones who do great work, and receive no credit), doctors (heck, we even have a medical director at a major NYC hospital), gifted chefs, event coordinators (for BIG events, like the US Open), artists, accomplished musicians, Googlers (or whatever they're called), at least one X-Games gold medalist, even humble, or not so humble, retailers, and others I'm too forgetful to mention. And these are only the ones I've ridden with!

Riding back from the Market on Monday(playing hookey from work sort of)saw a nesting bald eagle a couple of miles south of the end of the descent from the police station.  Maybe 1 1/2- or so; on the river side of the road-someone was there photographic it-which is how I caught sight.  Saw the similar last year so must be a regular.   Not something you get to see very frequently so-maybe you might take river road with the hope of seeing it.
