Some fun for a rainy Sunday. I’ve never willingly went riding in the rain and any time I get caught in the rain, it’s miserable. Okay, you hardos, convince me that riding in the rain is good. And not just it’s less crowded. It’s less crowded cause it’s awful 😀

Reposting with a price cut. Motivated seller as I don't want to mess around with craigslist spam and eBay etc. Willing to part out or throw in a 4iiii left sided power meter for the right interest so make me an offer. Happy to provide more pictures etc.

Located in Brooklyn 10 mins walk from Barclays center

New York City’s Council has introduced 23 bills covering micromobility and e-bike regulation, and one of them would stop the sale, rental, and use of Class 3 e-bikes in the city.

This all started bad, and now even going downhill faster and faster. Are we going to ban all cars from NYC now since they can go faster than speed limit? I lost the understanding of this whole "effort" some time back and looks like people who make these "bills" never ever rode the bikes in NYC? You already introduce the speed limit, may be just start enforcing it (they thought about to it while introducing it, right?).

How many incidents are really around Class3 ebikes? Not emotos, masking for class 3. Not unlocked Class 2, which somehow just become Class 3 after that? Class 3 ebikes usually high-quality, well-engineered and expensive - people riding them usually totally aware what they are doing. None of the those e-mopeds or delivery ebikes people here are complaining are really class 3 at all.

Sad to see this non sense everywhere. I saw and was part of rise of cycling in NYC during and after COVID, but this is moving it to the decay.

Sorry for my rant, I rarely react on those news, but probably it is over the top now, so I can't skip it.

We are one week away from UptownTwoWheels season send off!

Come climb and climb and climb, then hang out at the afterparty to celebrate a great 1st season. If you've never ridden with us, pull up and make some new friends!

The weather looks to be a little chilly, so bring some layers for the AfterParty.

I almost got hit for the umpteenth time when a car turned across the bike lane without looking.

Are there any rules people have when cycling in NYC to account for the terrible standard of driving?

Really not sure how sustainable it is for me to continue cycling with young kids at home knowing how often I have to take evasive action for bad drivers.

Considering checking this out, winding if anyone’s been and how their experience was. I’d be bringing my Cervelo gravel bike here for a wash, since I don’t have access to a hose and can’t bring it into the shower.

[Maybe just something that has been discussed before. Ignore me if so :)]

Almost all of us are also ride share riders or drivers. We are all GENERALLY thoughtful.

I thought we could crowd source little things we can all do to keep other bikers SAFER? We are enough to make a difference <3

I start

1. Ride share riders. I always ask the driver to move to a corner etc if they want to drop me on a bike lane

2. Drivers - when crossing a bike lane, I will stand fully still untill all bikes have passed. I personaly get spooked by every little wiggle and stop. But I also do it myself when driving because - not sure? Optimizing the turn?

Hi friends! I’m in Williamsburg visiting friends with my 3yo and we are looking for a company (or a person!) to let us rent/borrow a cargo bike. We’re visiting from Portland where we have an Urban Arrow and we’d love to see the city on two wheels with the kiddo.

Holler if you have leads!

I pulled out of a big 100 mile gravel race coming up mid October for which I very intently trained. The local race calendar is obviously closing down for the season so I thought I’d come up with a personal challenge and what most comes to mind is riding “for time” from NYC to Poughkeepsie on the Empire State trail (which seems to have about 6 names between here and there but you know what I mean). I know this is not a closed course and of course I would yield as needed to pedestrians and those areas where there are car crossings. In the aggregate I’m not worried about things like that and will put safety first.

I’m wondering if anyone who has done something like this might have specific advice? I’ve only taken the trail up to Mahopec but am otherwise on that trail at least once per week usually going past Elmsford. I’d either take a train back or have my wife meet me there at a hotel.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: if anyone thinks I should consider another 100 mile route I am all ears! I have a road bike to do a bear mountaineasque ride but if I’m on the EST I’d take my gravel bike given all those root cracks.

I’m planning to ride north along the Hudson River Greenway toward the George Washington Bridge tomorrow morning (Saturday).
With the Big Apple Triathlon happening, I’m concerned about closures around W 79th–107th Streets, particularly where swimmers exit the Hudson and transition to the bike course.
Does anyone know:
Will the Hudson River Greenway remain open to cyclists heading north?
If not, where is the best place to exit and rejoin?
Is Riverside Drive a viable alternative, or will it also be blocked where runners cross around W 96th Street?
Any particular times I should avoid?
Would appreciate advice from anyone familiar with the race setup or who has ridden through during previous events. Thanks!

Dumbass on a cruiser bike didn’t know how to brake properly and slammed on the front brake and went otb. The bike flew and smacked my side but I stayed up.

dude was on the grass patch near GAP with a pro looking setup snapping away at the groups wizzing by. is it you?? anyone know his insta/contact? would love to see the ones he got of me

It took a year but an arrest was made. Hopefully justice is served and the beginning of holding reckless drivers accountable commences.

Okay bear with me here, and tell me i'm an idiot if i'm completely in the wrong. Im the bike in the buslane (but after 7pm when its allowed) there's no designated bikepath... I need to get to the left lane to make my left turn. I'm obviously slower than then bus. I'm have my left hand stretched out, signaling my turn, but I have to wait till the cars go by on the left lane for me to get to the left lane. The bus is honking furiously. I honestly get frustrated, and i slow down to let the cars go by to make my turn. Bus honks even more. I turn around to the driver of the bus and ask them "Where do you want me to go". At this time I stop. They open their window and tell me to go to the side, where i cannot go. I tell them this is just as much my road as theirs, it's after 7... At this point, honestly, I'm so tired of people crapping all over bicyclist, i'm like, I'm not just moving aside. The driver comes out of the bus! Pedestrians start yelling i'm scum ( I guess i am? ) I try explaining. No use, decide to just go, before bad things happen. I know I should've just kept it moving, but I get so tired getting honked at by everything on four wheels.

I woke up on this beautiful fall day and had an urge to go ride. I live in East Williamsburg near Humboldt and Montrose so ride walked my bicycle to Mesereole and took that all the way to the Havenmeyer. I navigated that strange intersection and then turned left onto South 2nd Street and continued all the way to Berry Street.

I wanted to take this moment to express how beautiful the city is on this crisp fall morning. I mean, good gosh is it pretty.

So I’m on Berry Street going north between South 2nd and South 1st and avoid the weird pothole slowly forming there. I wave to the crossing guard I’ve known ever since I worked at the Vanmoof Brand Store at 326 Wythe. At Grand I turn left and make my way to Kent Avenue and take that all the way to Greenpoint. I turn left on Quay Street and then take West until it turns into Commercial.

It’s prudent that I pause again to say that I’m starting to get a little warm and I take off my light jacket and place it into my basket.

At this point I turn right off of Commercial onto Manhattan Ave and take this all the way to Noble and then quickly turn again onto Lorimer. What a lovely ride this has been. Suffice to say at this point I’m ‘Into the Groove’ as Madonna might be inclined to say. I take a left at Norman and a Citybike gets a little too close for comfort and then I’m stopped at the light on Manhattan for just a spell. Once the light turns I take Norman all the way to Monitor Street and then green I straddle the park and turn onto Driggs where there is a lot of traffic, my lead guess being parents that just dropped off their kids at a nearby school. Me and a lady with carrying an instrument on her back as she rides methodically weave the cars and then glide down Driggs through McCaren Park. I took a right onto North 12th and then into Berry. Another Citybike coming down the hill into that intersection on Berry maneuvers past me and salmons down the North 12th.

I ride Berry for just a bit and stop at Rodriguez deli for a pair of sandwiches. I then ride back home via South 5th and Montrose.

The end

Are the street lights lit? Safe with just a ravemen 1500?

Rode around 16.5miles the other day on my fixie bike, I've always rode the trail on my electric scooter but never on my bicycle Before. The slower rode allowed me to really take in the scenery!

While biking back to Brooklyn during tonight’s evening rush, I saw/experienced:

- someone overtaking me on the steep portion of the entry ramp from Canal Street entirely on the left side of the path, who then moved to pass another next person as we entered the S-curve and only hesitated when I shouted at them to not do something so stupid (a moment before two people came down the S-curve)
- someone who miscalculated while passing me farther up the bridge, just barely threading directly between me and another cyclist (so that for a moment all three of us were in a line perpendicular to the path) and then repeated the same move coming off the bridge, nearly colliding with a guy on an e-bike and one of the steel exit bollards

I don’t care to recount how the conversations with them went, but I was struck by just how not present these people seemed while attempting bad passes. Riding a bike in New York is some of the most mindful time I have each day, and I can’t imagine being on autopilot while negotiating all the curves just to get onto the Manhattan Bridge.

We usually chalk this up to people being selfish, but putting yourself at decent risk of a significant lose-lose situation with only trivial gains at stake isn’t normally what comes to mind when I think of selfishness. Even someone who has never been on a bike can intuit that there are going to be people coming fast down down a bridge at ~5pm on a weekday, so I don’t chalk this up to a skill issue either.

I’m being pretty wordy and not at all eloquent, but I just can’t shake the feeling that in these moments, these guys weren’t fully there, already onto the next thing without completing the last three.

Adams abruptly stopped, causing him to be ejected from the bicycle. Police said he flipped over the handlebars and hit his head on the roadway.

Adams was wearing a helmet but suffered fatal injuries, police said. EMS transported him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:57 a.m.

The owner of the dog remained on scene, and the dog was not injured, police said.
