Any recommendations for a good bike fitter in Brooklyn?

I have done over 1,000 NYCC rides and have never seen them until today when our daughter, Mindy showed them to us!  Some hills appear to have 10% climbs.  Get to see it soon during gorgeous foliage !

paved:  Closter Dock downhill from  9W, R on Anderson, R on Buckingham, L on Old Quarry, R on Autumn.

Unpaved:  Straight on Anderson which ends onto unpaved path, continue Boy Scout camp, to 9W

There is an obit in today's Times for Mark Gelles age 72 which mentioned bicycling.  I assume he was our former club member and officer.

He exemplified the term "nice guy"  Some years ago my daughter was on a NYCC ride and couldn't keep up.  He dropped back to ride with her and to give her encouragement

The article is more whimsical than instructive for our members.

A bike instructor is referred to but not named who has the chutspah to charge $475 for a 90 min. class. Shame on her! And on anyone who would pay her that.

The Readers' Comments speak of an org., Trips for Kids, that seems to parallel in Manhattan Ed Fishkin's Kids Ride Club and which the NYCC might well want to acquaint itself with.

As people start to travel more, maybe people want to travel more with bikes!?

I should think so. Don't buy a bike box if you don't have to - use mine! It's located in Park Slope.

For rent: Alan Premium Bike Box - $25 for a weekend or $50 for a week.

I'm 6'3" and my Look 595 fit just fine (integrated seat post). A taller gent with a Parlee (disc brakes, even) used the box to get to and from another country. Believe it. My landlord uses it to get out to Los Angeles and he's not yet evicted me. You may know him. He's a pretty active NYCC guy. He'll tell you. It's a box for bikes!

Just checking, is the mentioned 10% off for club members mentioned here https://nycc.org/raceteam/sponsorsandperks still valid?

At $2M Median, Alpine’s 07620 Leads New Jersey Real Estate for 5th Consecutive Year

While the Mid-Atlantic region was, as expected, dominated by exclusive New York locations, three New Jersey zip codes also represented the region — the highest number New Jersey has ever

It’s taken a while, but I think our Club has woken up from Covid-19. Not that we’ve put it entirely behind us, but we’ve learned to live with it while going about (most of) our daily lives. To continue the waking up metaphor, we’ve stumbled into the shower, maybe shaved, tended to our teeth and are staring into the closet.

Have you all seen the very interesting article in Bloomberg CityLab entitled "Where Did All the Public Bathrooms Go"?  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-11-05/why-american-cities-lost-their-public-bathrooms

Reminds me of the misery of planning a ride during the lockdown.  Could only be as far as would allow me to turn around and get home without embarrassing myself.

The best part of the article is a reference to peeplace/en: https://pee.place/en  This site shows publc restrooms near the user.  I haven't tried it yet since there's a scary storm going on outside my window right now.

The trail is rideable, but at a slower pace.

1) Most of the trail is covered in leaves.  You can’t see the pavement, and worse, you can’t see the edges.  I’ve “fallen” off the edge of the pavement twice in the last two days and I know the trail as I ride it almost every day.  I’ve been riding closer to what I think is the center.  That works at the times of the day I’ve been riding, as there are few other people out on the SCT around sunrise.

2) There are trees down all over the trail.  Nothing blocking, everything has been cut and pushed to the sides, but the debris is left on the trail.
