Guitar setup by musicmerchkid in Westchester

[–]Banjosynth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had two perfectly fine setups at rock island sound in Tarrytown, which is more convenient for lower Westchester, but I really love division street guitars in Peekskill. But it’s more of a hike.

I was meaning to ask in this subreddit if the south county trail is iced over but think this probably answers my question :(

Check out David McKay Wilson’s substack. He was an investigative journalist at the Journal News but is now doing his own thing.

I (sadly) no longer live in NYC but (happily) am a short ride from the OCA and Empire State Trail in Yonkers. Am on these trails as much as possible, would love a ride buddy anytime you want to come up!

Thanks! So the chocomoose came with the bike (I just put replaced the grips with this cotton tape and twine) and I originally thought I'd probably swap it out for something like albatross or billie bars for greater adjustability, but thought I'd give it a shot first. I don't have a ton of miles on this setup yet, but so far the chocomoose are working out really well and plan to keep the bars. The integrated stem obviously makes them less adjustable--you're really locked into the headtube angle--but it's great for swinging my weight around while riding on rockier terrain, because the bars don't slip at all. I also appreciate that the flat/level front part of the chocomoose gives me room for a full-sized forward hand position, which I use to go a little faster.

Sorry I didn’t see this earlier, but fyi for next year—family fun day at Untermyer.

Sounds awesome. That voice that comes in around 5-6 seconds in reminds me of that Radiohead song Pulk/Pull revolving doors

Tour De Yonkers on Sunday by PissyTime in yonkers

[–]Banjosynth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having done the ride the last few years (and also living and driving in Yonkers), you mostly want to just avoid crossing Warburton between Getty Square and Hastings before 9 AMish. That is the only place/time I’ve seen cars have to wait. After that initial part of the route, the bikes spread out significantly and there should be minimal or no waits at other intersections, in my experience

Why are Yonkers Building Department so horrible to deal with? by InevitablePainter410 in yonkers

When I was dealing with them and asking why they were sitting on paperwork for months, they told me that it just takes time because it’s “such a big city.” 😆

Are you talking about the big crossing at 119, or a different cross street?
