To my Brooklyn cycling friends: Some of you might know my friend, Joe Lawler, former head mechanic at Sid's on 34th Street, who, last summer, took the job of service manager at Bicycle Roots, until last month on Fulton Street in the Bed-Stuy section of Brooklyn.

Joe went to work at Bicycle Roots because it's the kind of business he believes in: a community- and service-oriented bike shop that pays as much attention to the neigborhood kid with a flat as it does to the Lycra-clad tri-geek looking to upgrade her drive train.

B15 Morning laps in Central Park cancelled due to wet roads.

Snow in forecast means black ice and wet roads. 

The weather report for tonight and tomorrow morning is marginal. I will make a go-no go decision at 5:00 AM and contact everyone who has signed up for the ride.

The registration for BSTS for spring 2013 is now closed as all the spots are taken. A waiting list is open and if you are interested please proceed as normal registration which is described in great detail in the top sticky post of this message board. Once you complete the process you will be automatically placed on the waiting list.

We will review the waiting list after March 3rd and give you a status update. If there are any changes to the current confirmed list prior to that date, you will move up and be registered for the B-STS on a first come first serve basis.

If you have any questions regarding B-STS please send an email to the email address listed at the bottom of the B-STS information page on this web site.

Most hopeful sentence in the above article: Howard Wolfson, a deputy mayor, also suggested on Thursday that any mayoral hopeful would be unwise to reignite a settled debate, saying, “The great bike war is over, and the opponents lost.”

Hello all,

There have been a few questions regarding confirmation of SIG/STS registration. In addition to the confirmation email you should have recieved, you can confirm that you are in fact registered for a SIG/STS by visiting the respective event's registration page. If you see the "Cancel Signup" link (as highlighted in the image below) you can rest assured that you are a confirmed registrant.

If you see an option to "Sign Up" as highlighted in the image below then you are not registered. 

Temperature low; no one has signed up. I'll re-list the ride a little later in the spring, when the weather is a little more propitious.
