June 29, Ron Grossberg created a thread about a rotten, rotten, disgraced PIPC cop who worked out of the Alpine headquarters and who harassed cyclists...and who was permitted to resign late last year rather than face indictment and trial. Here is a link to an article in the Village Voice about this rotten, rotten, disgraced ex-cop...and, yes, the post you're reading right now does have a very large cycling component:  http://www.villagevoice.com/2012-06-27/news/Vincent-Roberson-Palisades-Gail-Lawrence/

If, like me, you want to learn more about Randonneuring, check out this ride series where experienced NYCC Randonnuers show us the ropes out on the road. Week 1 kickoff ride is a Bastille Day "Populaire".

NYCC members!

Gather we will on July 18th to view one of the most exciting stages of this year's Tour.....Stage 16 and the Great Pyreneans cols!

Im leaving tomorrow to visit family and my date for tonight got cancelled, therefore, ill be hitting up CP tonight at 8pm for some laps (4).  I created the ride, but depending on when it get approved, it might not be til after the ride.

So, if you are looking to do some B18 laps in CP tonight (and work on some skills as well), then join me at the boathouse (bike racks)  at 8pm.

See you then.

My friends at Huntington Bicycle Club asked me to post this to our website. The ride doesn't seem to be listed on our Out of Bounds Calendar.

While I don't know the specific routes to be taken, that part of LI is beautiful with lots of rolling hills, nice homes, tree-lined roads and water-views. 

Routes of 12 to 100 miles with 4 rest stops and SAG.

Date: July 29, 2012

Start location: Greenlawn

Due to the forecasted extremely high temperatures and threat of severe thunderstorms this Saturday the Storm King A19 ride has been canceled.

Most bicycle stores open around 10am, give or take an hour; most of them close by 7pm, a few sticking until 8pm. Those are the only stores that sell any bicycle-related supplies at all. 

In particular, you could be in a lot of places in NYC during morning commuting hours or mid-evening hours, and you would have no recourse to fixing a flat unless you'd brought along a repair or replacement kit. 

Would it be helpful to know of places that are open at odd hours - perhaps 24/7 - that have a limited selection of bicycle gear available in a pinch? Like, just a small shelf of tubes, foldable tires, small lube bottles, chamois cream, gel shots, etc?
