Hey y’all! So I heard that there’s a tradition of riding the NYC marathon route before the runners make it over to Manhattan? Does anyone have any experience with this? I’d love to ride if anyone else was thinking of the same.

Have new analyst on the team with an MBA and project experience. After working with them for 2 months it’s apparent that there are 0 consulting skills (excel, outlook, PowerPoint) and they freeze up even on internal calls. They are young and coachable, and I offered to put time into that. However at a company event they made no effort to get to know the team and chose to stick to their familiar colleagues in their home office. I’d like to ask for a new resource but interested in feedback.

Any riders do 9W during the weekend or weekday?

Do you all stop at the red light???

Welcome to the NYC Cycling Bowl. We can use this to discuss all things NYC cycling; including preferred routes, meetups, shop recommendations, etc. Let’s try to use Borough tags when discussing geographically-specific topics.

Hi Folks! Starting at McK NYC soon and hoping to bike to work some days. I'll probably get a Brompton folding bike but wondering if anyone has experience with the NYC office? Is there accesible bike storage in the building? Are there showers of some sort in the office building where I can change out of biking clothes?
Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

Looks like this weekend is going to be another fantastic one for riding (short sleeve jerseys in November works for me). Feel free to post any rides your thinking about taking this weekend along with an estimated speed!

Heads up to anyone who rides in Central Park. Starting tomorrow they’re closing the descent around the Lasker Pool construction down to the base of Harlem Hill for a few weeks. You’ll have to take the 103rd Street crossover.

Howdy! Has anyone ever biked the fire island seashore? If so, was it as awesome as I'd expect it to be, and were you able to find bikes to rent that could handle it?

I understand there used to be fat tire bike rentals at Robert Moses, but the pandemic seems to have closed that down permanently.

I want to do this ride so much I'm thinking of buying a pair of lectric foldables for myself and my partner, then just immediately selling them at a loss - but I'd prefer something easier logistically!

Looking like a perfect weekend for cycling. Started things off with a jaunt to Piermont this evening.
