We're not riding tmrw.

One piece of good news- the lighting on the greenway from 59th heading north under the West Side Highway is hugely improved. It used to be very dark at night, but now is well lit. 

There are some interesting and some not so interesting cycling applications:

MyBell.  What would you record as your "bell" sound?

SeBak Safety System.  I still will be looking behind me.

Bike Computer.  Won't put Garmin out of business.

Fishbike.  Maybe the the fish can help me get up those hills.

Anyone know whether the European Cycling Classics will be broadcasted through TWC? Was hoping to catch the snowy finish of Gent-Wevelgem today, but can't find the right channel... :(

650 participants (run/bike). I plan to avoid the park en route to my ride.

A water bottle was found at the 7-11 where the A-SIG stopped today. If it is yours, shoot me an email so I know to bring it next week.
