I sometimes commute from Manhattan to Great Neck, and got a ticket today, 8/27, going eastbound on 58th Ave at Underhill Ave, for passing a stop sign. It was an unmarked police car. The ticket fine is $138! The officer said a lot of people have been hurt at that intersection. I think I'm going to plead not guilty and hope the officer skips the hearing. Does anyone have any advice, pay or plead not guilty?

NYCC does not permit the posting of evening rides in the park, so consider this is the "formal invitation." 

Clip in and roll out at 7:30pm Wednesday from the Boathouse for three laps along with some Harlem Hill Loops mixed in. Followed by beer and burritos on the outdoor patio at Chipotle on 52nd between Lex and Third. 

An email stating your intension to participate, while not required, would be welcomed.           

***We will break up intp two groups this week (B18 and A20/21) starting together at the Boathouse and meeting up again for a beer and buritto after laps.            

Ride is on unless it starts raining between now and 5:45am.

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'm a B17 rider and would like to meet up with a small group for Sunday's Golden Apple ride. LMK if you're interested. Thanks, [email protected] Anne

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.

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.

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