So, whatever happened to the fun random NYC night rides?

Air 07-02-08 09:30 AM

They're still happening - I'm just swamped this week. Hope to get them back up next week - how's next Wednesday for people?

Air 07-07-08 03:59 PM

Let's say Wednesday - I have it down and I miss you guys, and look forward to some new faces :)

If you want to come send me a PM and I'll give you the exact address but the general area is 36th and 2nd Ave.

Air 07-09-08 07:12 AM

Crap - just noticed the weather will be downright nasty tonight starting at 7. Anyone care about riding in severe thunderstorms?

noteon 07-09-08 07:16 AM

If I'm in street clothes on the folder I've just picked up from B-fold, with a laptop in my backpack, I don't want to ride in thunderstorms.

If the folder isn't ready today and I can go home, change into rain gear, and get my road bike, I'm probably in.

Let's see what the forecast looks like around 3PM?

Air 07-09-08 07:20 AM

Sure - though man it looks like it'll be super crappy the whole way :( We'll play it by ear.

jeebusaurousrex 07-09-08 08:06 AM

Sounds like a plan guys.

Noteon, which folder did you get from bfold?

noteon 07-09-08 08:09 AM

No, no, I hate talking about it. Really, I just can't.

Seriously, I'm too shy and reserved.

jeebusaurousrex 07-09-08 08:23 AM

I can tell! :thumb:

BTW I have schwalbe marathons on the brompton and caught a flat somewhere on the manhattan bridge once. Supposedly it was an anomaly as most users claim they've never had a problem. After that (sometime early this spring) I've rolled over carpets of broken glass and debris and haven't caught another, knock on wood.

Air 07-09-08 08:51 AM

How are they to get on and off? The tires on my downtube are impossible.

Urbanis 07-09-08 09:38 AM

Ooo, I just checked weather.com and it looks bad for this evening--rain all but certain. So bad, in fact, that I may either leave my bike in the office or take it home on the subway.

Drat!

(A day not on my bike is like a day without sunshine.)

Yeah, I know :( :( :(

Oh well - maybe next week will just have to be a 2fer :D

Pshaw, moi? Get my hands dirty? I let the mechanic handle that! I keed I keed of course. I wasn't sure about taking the wheel off (somewhat complicated for the rear on brommies) so I had Dave Lam do it. Otherwise I hear it's somewhat of a pain to take the tire off the rim, probably a recurring theme for small wheels.
