The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey announced on August 15 that it will begin providing shuttle service for pedestrians and bicyclists who wish to cross the Bayonne Bridge. This free service will operate Friday-Sunday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

If you have one, please email to me at [email protected] ASAP! Thanks

There's been talk on other threads of an NYCC clubhouse at an "undisclosed location," but it sounds like Rapha has one in the works, for which it now seeks three staffers: http://www.rapha.cc/work-at-rapha#job26

I have my eye on the "New York Cycle Club - Barista" job. Many thanks to the NYCC board for forging this exciting partnership!

Want to ride the NYC Century Bike Tour AND help support Transportation Alternatives? Volunteer to be a Ride Marshal! The NYC Century Bike Tour couldn't operate without the dedication and generosity of our volunteers. Help your fellow cyclists along the route, help T.A., and best of all, enjoy a great day in the saddle riding the best bike tour in town!

Besides the Peekskill brewery, what places do you like for an end-of-ride beer/bite? Anyone tried The Quiet Man Public House, for example?

Women bike racers, or women who want to be bike racers, or women who’d like to learn more about bike racing, or women who want to get real fast on their  bike, take a look.  A little background on Lance Leener.

from a nationally known mechanic: I need to take a moment to dispel the myth that’s out there that it’s mandatory to replace your cassette when you replace your chain. That’s not true. You only need to replace a cassette if the cogs are worn out and they skip. In other words, a new chain will work fine on an older cassette, just so long as it isn’t worn out.

Hi folks,

Me and a few friends from the club I cycle with, Crawley Wheelers in the south east of UK, are heading 'over the pond' to ride the 100-mile Escape New York!

I sent Carrie a message to find out if there are any social meetups after the event in the evening, which there aren't, but suggested I should post here to see if anyone was interested? Our most probable post-event will be drinking beer and indulging in bad food, so if anyone has recommendations on where best to do this, or would like to join us, than it would be great to hear from you! Or if anyone has plans already, would you mind us joining? :)

While I agree that commercial cyclists riding on sidewalks, wrong way and other violations should certainly be targeted I am concerned that there is no effort by NYPD to crack down on speeding, running red lights (the famous NYC red light...next 5 cars make the left turn) etc.  . Also no sign whatsoever of a crackdown by DOT / NYPD on cars driving or parking in the bike lanes. 

Many of you probably know at least something about Major Taylor. Marshall Walter "Major" Taylor was a great bicycle racer at the turn of the century – the last century.

He’s kinda like a Jackie Robinson story, a black athlete who was prohibited from competing because he was black.  It was a time when segregation and prejudice were the norm, when it was permitted, even encouraged.  The rules actually said, “No coloreds allowed”.

So Major Taylor raced in Europe, in Australia, beat all the champions of the day.
