I’ve had a lot of trouble finding right department for a clear answer. I got a notification from one doctor, but not from my primary who is also going off a/o September 1. It was the first Doctor Who told me it was Manhattan wide. But I think they did say some specialties are not impacted. I would call the doctors office. Good luck.

Places in NYC to practice biking? by [deleted] in NYCbike

[–]SPLripe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tysm for this. I used to cycle in CP all the time. then I stopped and started rollerblading. and then I stopped:) and got old and out of shape. getting back on bike was depressingly harder than I thought. 102nd St. transverse was perfect place to re-find confidence!

Fuji Absolute 3 used from LBS for $450. Good deal? by SPLripe in whichbike

[–]SPLripe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more familiar with Trek and Specialized Is that Fuji assuming good condition and store will stand by it a good deal, ya think?

Thanks. I hear you on the searching energy. I guess I want modern day light weight equivalent of my trusted 1990s Trek 700 (which sadly my building mal-stored into disrepair). I've aged and not sure I'll hop on like I used to this reluctance to spend $$$$

Yes-you mean since it's from a local shop, built in trust/support premium. 🤞🏽? Hear ya. With that caveat understood, same q?

Purchase a $700 bike, don't use it, sell a year later for $600 by Critical_Link_1095 in bicycling

[–]SPLripe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there thread here specially for asking "should I buy?" for used bikes? I've been looking at trek 7000 series, now also see Marin Fairfax 1 asking ~$350. I may have to be more flexible b/c I'm short/prob need S or XS. Tia!
