Fear of injury while cycling in NYC? Not according to this writer.

The first four paragraphs set the stage for the cycling-related toughts that follow but if you're interested only in this as cycling-centric, then blow off those paragraphs and start reading below the picture.

The comments under the article are of equal, and maybe even greater interest.

Oh, this one comment by me: Riding 30MPH on city streets here, as the author claims? I doubt it.

Interested in transport of car to Berkshire weekend

Submitted by DMC on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 11:18am

My wife, Colleen, and I are wanting to do the ride from the train station for the Berkshire weekend, but need to have our car there. If there is a club member who wishes to drive to the Berkshires, we're interested in you taking our car up for us on Friday. Please contact [email protected] if you're interested!

Anyone have space for 1 male rider for Berkshires?

Any takers for an A18-20 Group for GFNY?

Submitted by Cmoore on Mon, 05/07/2012 - 1:30pm

Hello all. I am hoping to enlist some fellow good wheels to make the GFNY more enjoyable and memorable. Would love to have some fellow NYCCers to ride with! I know there are some signed up, I am just hoping to organize now so to make the easiest work of this challenging ride.

Holla!

Steel Frames

I am very keen to buy a lugged steel frame and build up a bike. Does anybody have a good resource where I can learn about tubing quality etc.

One shop I found on the internet had the above special. How does this sound to the steel cognoscenti?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks.

physical therapist recommendations- back

Submitted by RKastrinsky on Sun, 05/06/2012 - 11:52pm

Can anyone recommend a place/person for physical therapy for my back?  I went to the doctor and got a subscription and am looking for a place that takes my insurance - and it would be nice if someone had a good experience with a therapist, maybe even someone that frequently worked with cyclists.  I am optimally looking for a place that is in the village (east or west) or Gramercy, but I would also be willing to travel to a different neighborhood.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations
