CitiBike Messenger Bike Trailers
Has anyone else noticed messengers transporting citibikes on trailers? Anyone know who makes these? They look like roof rack arms welded to surly trailers, maybe?

opinions on the safety value of spoke lights?
I bike exclusively pre-dawn 3-4x/week for about 2 hours each ride. Of course I wear a reflective vest and ankle bands plust the front light and rear lights.
My wife gave me some vintage Energizer Wheelie spoke lights (circa 2002) and I have been using them for the past two months. One went south and I sent it back for a warranty replacement - good luck with that.
So, should I purchase some similar type replacements? At first they seemed like a novelty to me but after using them for a few months I do believe they add to my visibility on the road. Nite Ize Spokelit is the most similar replacement.
January Jaunting ride (1/11) CANCELLED
Rain, rain, rain.
Shimano 600 (Arabesque) Brake installation
does anyone know or know where I can find instructions how to install a vintage front brake Shimano 600 series. I can't figure out how to attach the cable to the brake pivots.
Tuesday's Interesting and Important program
Please join us at this coming Tuesday's NYCC January 14th meeting. If, somehow, you have not seen the promotion on the home page, here is a special invitation just for you.
Henry Hudson Drive
Just wondering if anyone can report the conditions. Is it clear of ice and snow?
Do you like CitiBikes? Are you antsy to ride this month? (Ride Posting!!)
Well I might have a thing for you, this Sunday!
The current weather forecast is 52 degrees and much/all of the snow should be melted and gone at that point. So let's do this relatively short, relatively slow, totally social ride and see how it works out!
Frozen gel saddle
I have a soft squishy gel saddle on my commuter bike. The “arctic vortex” that has overwhelmed our area of late has frozen the gel in my saddle solid. When I rode to work this morning, all I have to say is, ouch! Then, to make matters worse, when I arrived at work and locked my bike to a pole, I look up and what do I see in the store window right in front of me? Yup, a full display of Spring fashions. Very confusing!
