Can anyone help me on this one?

Like many NYC apartment dwellers, I store my lightweight road bike in my building's bike room.  The room is fitted with wall hangers. While this is efficient and prevents a big jumble of bikes, I have wondered if this method causes damage to my wheels, either the bearings, spokes, or true.  Also, I wonder if its better to hang the bike from the front or rear wheel (works both ways).

Any insight would be appreciated.  Thanks.

To get our beautiful new NYCC postcard, designed by Cathline Marshal, into every bike shop and bike hangout in the 5 boros and beyond, we'll need your help.

Pick up a pack at the June 12 club meeting and make sure your own local shop is supplied!

Last night's rain blew out a lot of plans, but now the sun is shining and the forecast is good. The roads may even be pretty dry by noon, so it's the perfect time for a mellow but quick Saturday afternoon ride to Piermont or Nyack and back, saving a little time for a post ride stop at the 103rd and Riverside beer garden.

Meet up at Grant's Tomb at 12pm if you want to join.

Looks like the rain is done.  Might be a little foggy, so wear something bright.

So the weather channel says 10-15% chance of precip through noon, but weather underground calls for 80-50%.

The front seems to have moved through.

I will show up at the Boathouse at 8:00 AM and ride out on Long Island to do the ride as planned. I don't have the opportunity to do this ride later.

The roads will be wet. We expect spray and will probably get filthy. We may see some wind. But those up at this hour who want to give it a go, here's your notice.

Regretfully we must cancel the ride due to safety considerations.

Wanted to give some notice so that you can make other plans.

Hope you can join us for a future ride.

Alas, not only can I not predict the market - less so the weather. I'm not convinced we'd get off to a dry start. Nor have enough of a window of opportunity to stay be safe at the beginning. I'm canceling the ride to its rain date of 23rd June.

 If this date doesn't work for enough people, let me know of another after the 23nd.

                           peace,
