I set up some RSSes, and now I am going to try a new feature on the blog, periodically linking to articles that might be of interest to bicyclist in New York. Streetsblog sort of has this covered, so I am not sure whether this is worthwhile. Nevertheless, it takes precious little work, and some readers may find it useful. So, for today:
Dates Set for Cross Erie Canal Bike Ride I am not a big riding-in-groups bicyclist, but I would like to explore upstate some time. The ride travels from Buffalo to Albany, two cities which were once incredibly beautiful and where you can now buy houses for the equivalent of a year or two’s rent in New York.
Museum of the City of New York has a Lecture Thursday entitled, Spotlight on Design: Innovation in New York’s Streets, with people from The Design Trust for Public Places, the NYC DOT, and some other organization with which I am not familiar. I think it sounds fun. And it is free if you follow the instructions at the link.
Registration opens for the 5 Borough Bike Tour. This is your one chance to bike across the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. Need I say more?
Bike Messengers are threatened by competition with machines. You know, like computers and stuff.
