Looking for Route NYC to Morristown, NJ

Submitted by JHunt on Mon, 08/26/2013 - 7:49pm

I'm looking for a good cycling route from NYC to Morristown, NJ and hope to have a response from someone who has actually ridden the route.

I would also like to know if anyone has ridden the Patriots Path. Is it paved or hardpack?

Thanks for the help.

I thought was on NBC Sports. Came home to watch today's stage and couldn't find it. Does anybody know if it's been shown on any of Time Warner's channels?

Thanks.

Getting to Rockaway

I understand that the bike path between Sheepshead Bay and Flatbush Ave was destroyed during the storm. Does anyone know an alternate route to get to the Marine Parkway Bridge from Coney Island Ave?

Thanks

This has been covered in the message board archives, but there's a few-blocks stretch of main street in Sag Harbor where village bylaws ban cycling.

Per http://www.copenhagenize.com/2010/09/bike-riding-illegal-in-sag-harbor-ny.html , for example

I was on a ride yesterday and got informed of this by a uniformed traffic officer a block in. Car traffic was poking along at 10 mph or so, and my wife and I were just taking the lane behind the car in front of us -- I had trouble imagining we were a hazard -- but anyway we stopped.

Experience with Industry Nine wheels?

Submitted by iforst on Sat, 08/24/2013 - 11:46pm

need to replace my wheels. LBS recommended these over Mavic SLS (both roughly the same price.) Anyone have experience with them?

Amazing as it might seem, the taxi driver lost control of the taxi due to a man on a bike.

Meanwhile, "Mr. Mateo (Fernando Mateo of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers and the cabdrivers’ union) are trying to block a move by the authorities to suspend Mr. Himon’s cab license."
