I admit it, I need to find a different winter sport or bite the bullet and join the indoor trainer crew... Against better knowledge I went out today in a bad case of cabin fever. Gorgous sunshine and (for someone almost Scandinavian) balmy temperatures got the better of me. 25 miles later I felt like a pickle and looked like a pillar of salt. My bike sulked all the way back home. I spend 2 hours cleaning and lubricating my bike. Not sure if we're on speaking terms yet - right now I hear him whisper to my roadbike in the hallway. Probably nothing nice. 

Below: a link to an article in the Sunday, Jan. 26th New York Times concerning a dispute as to whether the former Fulton Fish market should be changed into a public food market or a hotel complex. Nowhere does the article address the fate of the East River bicycle path adjacent to the now unused fish market building.

Can anyone confirm that bikes can still use the short segment of the Palisades to connect Seven Lakes Drive from Tiorati Lake Rec Area to access Perkins Memorial Drive/Bear Mountain?

Thanks.

Hi.

I see the link for requesting a new password. Is there a way to set it to take the password of my own choosing?

Thank you.

Does Anyone Know the Condition Today of the Central Park Drives and the Greenway?

It's just enough warmer -- er, "less cold" -- to consider cycling....

Thanks in advance.

This ride is CANCELLED due to lack of interest... though in fairness, it could also be said to be cancelled due to a sudden attack of common sene :)

Be safe, stay warm... see you on the road.
