Looking for a room (bed) in a house for Memorial Day weekend in the Berkshires for one male - me. :)  Anyone looking for a housemate?

Hey Everyone!  Could use some bike travelling advice here -

I'm travelling to Provence this July to partake in a cycling tour in the area - and I was wondering - can anyone offer advice on travelling/shipping a bike over?  Seems like it might be quite a hassle to carry a bike around on a plane or by train - so I'd like to hear what other people have done in terms of riding overseas with their bike.

If anyone has any recommendations, I'd certainly be open to them.  Thanks in advance!

Offering many thanks (and a round or two of the beverage of your choice, if you like) in exchange for suggestions/route maps/cue sheets etc for three-four 60mi-80mi routes in the Siena region of Tuscany.

Just north of Mill (Germonds on the left, Mill on the right), past the four-way stop sign, do NOT be tricked by the gorgeous new paving.  There are deep gouges, some with manholes, some with those small, round thingies, and some just waiting to be filled in.  It's VERY shadowy there due to the lush trees.  I hit something today and went down...hard.  Would like to prevent anyone else from doing the same.

I had to cancel my reservation.  The woman said she's not full yet, so if you're looking for a nice B&B, call the Windflower in South Egremont.  413-528-2720

Hello Everyone,

I'm planning to ride from work (Union NJ) to Queens. Not too familiar with the NJ area. What is the safest way to get to GWB or would it be safer just to ride to the ferry and go from there? 

Please help!!

From the NY Roadrunners website (http://www.nyrr.org/races-and-events/2013) where you can get more details.

May 11: 10K run in Central Park

May 12: 4 mile run (plus kids' races) in Central Park

May 18: Brooklyn Half Marathon, includes one lap of Prospect Park

June 2: 4 mile run in Central Park

June 8: Mini 10K run in Central Park

June 16: 5 mile run (plus kids' races) in Central Park

June 29: 5 mile run in Central Park

June 30: Achilles event - 5 miles in Central Park

Last summer there was an "events" sticky that helpfully listed events that would conflict with cycling activites. As I recall, the focus was primarily on Central Park.

I would love to see a return of the events sticky - or maybe even a feature of the eWeekly - now that the weather is warming and events are proliferating. E.g., half marathon closing River Road on Sunday morning; Revlon Walk ending in CP tomorrow morning. 

I'm finally getting to the point of believing that the CitiBikes system will become reality.  I'm seeing the stations going up all over the place!

And, of course, law suits have already started.  The homeowner's association at 99 Bank Street is trying to have a station removed from the cobblestone street in front of their building claiming that danger is posed because cyclists will be riding on their sidewalk to avoid the cobblestones.  I suspect the real reason is the loss of a couple of parking spaces.

Considering that block is only 150 feet long, it's a pretty ludicrous complaint.
