So let's do it, a weekly fixie/ss ride in prospect park and let's get the whole NYC forum crew on board. 1:00 pm on saturdays sound good?

iamjberube

good for me.

iamjberube

who's doing critical mass friday night?

FixednotBroken

yes to all.

NYCommuter

are newbies welcomed? I just got my fixie together and rode a few laps today in PP and really enjoyed it. I have tons of questions....

glomarduck

Yeah every NYC person is welcome and If any body needs my email or d.c. number pm me oh and we will meet at the park entrance at grand army plaza

ssorg

i'll be there if all goes well.

FixednotBroken

sure. and if you want to see a ton of fixed bikes - not to mention a slew of other freaky ones - come ride critical mass friday night. don't forget your costume.

glomarduck

weather update there is a possible chance of rain for sturday (baisicly the same as last week)

WithNail

I might go to new york for the weekend, so would I be welcome? I'm thinking of doing the critical mass also but i'm not sure if i'm even going. Any suggestions on what to do while i'm there if i'm not welcome on the ride.

etchr

do you actually think you would not be welcome?

iamjberube

yeah, you don't even have to ask as far as i'm concerned.

WithNail

no but better to be sure. . . I've only been to new york once so maybe if one of you guys could show me arround if I go if you don't mind. . . are any of you going to the crtitical mass on friday? I think i'll be there and that way I can get to know some New York kids. I'm originally from venezuela, lived in florida for a while and i've only been living here in the northeast for 3 years so i'm still kind of facinated with it all.

iamjberube

i will if i go. i broke a tooth yesterday and now i have to go to the dentist- soon. might put a crimp in my weekend plans, as well as my plans for a new frame.

FixednotBroken

well, first of all, you are most welcome. i mean, the last/first ride was just glomarduck, myself, and my GF. so if we were gonna get exclusive, uh, it'd get pretty boring quickly.

there's a hearing going on as i write this in a NYC courtroom concerning critical mass, so what happens friday remains to be seen. this might have repercussions elsewhere, as they're seeking to make riding in CM a federal crime. (how ridiculous is that?!)

as for suggestions, i'd say just ride around. get a free bike map at any bike shop, hit the parks, the bike paths along the water (west-side of manhattan is probably easiest). one of my favorite things? head to queens for amazing ethnic food: thai, chinese, egyptian, greek - the list goes on and on...

i think i'm gonna have to miss saturday's ride, but if CM is an option, i'm in for that.

Schiek

Coming from Boston, you may not want to discuss baseball.

Pat Eisenhauer

As a lurker, I may show up.

fixedfiend

Damn. i work Saturdays till 3. If you guys decide on making it on Sundays or some weeknights, I'm down.

iamjberube

i'm down with friday-mon, pretty much anytime
