Was wondering if the road is safe to ride on weekdays if one is going solo. I'm only familiar with the bike route 9 from ny to bear mountain. Are the roads well mapped? And are the shoulders safe in that area?

I highly recommend "Laps in Central Park" with Jim Olson. Fantastic leader!, and brings a warm welcome for new memebers who are skeptical about choosing what will be their first ride!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I got a crazy flat on the GW yesterday (complete with a shredded tire and the tube somehow getting wound around my axel) and a fellow NYCC member named Alan happened to be behind me and immediately stopped to help. I just wanted to say thanks again and give him a little recognition. :) 

A  car key labelled 14R3 was found at the meeting point (Kew Gardens Stop) in the area where our B16/B17/B18 groups were gathering prior to yesterday's (4/13) ride. Contact me if it's yours.

Hi all,

It's me again. I really missed NYC this winter, it was a tough one out here in the Catskills.

As some of you already know, I recently moved here from downtown NYC, and I started a blog to record good routes in the Catskills and encourage people to get their butts up here to ride. I've just put together a spring route roundup that pulls the best of together in a single post (there are also lots of additional routes on the blog, I just put the best ones in this post).

I'd like to encourage ALL of you to come out here for a few rides this summer. It is absolutely spectacular country, and all of it is accessible from the Poughkeepsie train station.

Here's the link. Hope to see a lot more people riding out here this summer!

The differences? This man was sentenced for a felony and got, however modest, jail time; whereas Priya Nanda, Max's killer.... 

Rain, dammit

Please consider signing. It too an important issue to lose.

Hello, I'm new to NYCC and my first ride is Saturday. We meet at Sakura Park. I was thinking of riding straight over through Randalls Island. Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated. 

I'm asking because I'm still new to New York. I took my bike over the 59th street bridge to CP a few days ago. I'm sure there is a better way, but the the way I took from the bridge to the park was horrible. I can't believe I wasn't hit by a car. So this time I'm going to ask for some advice rather than get turned into a pancake. 

Thank you.
