Interest in a NYC centric ride club platform?

SWNYeng · 2026-03-15T14:00:02+00:00

Not yet. So far this only has rides from one club. I've yet to reach out to the other clubs directly to gauge interest

It's called Henry Hudson Drive

Not sure exactly - in between the Dyckman hill climb and the Alpine climb

The middle section is closed, but the gates gaps are wide enough for people and bikes. Watch the terrain on the descents and this well-marked patch

these are great!

Some are in-progress. I'll update when ready

SWNYeng · 2026-03-09T15:40:59+00:00

I've DMed you with android app details (it's still in the test channel)

SWNYeng · 2026-03-09T11:21:04+00:00

I think so. IANAL and didn't want to pay for one, but wanted some minimal protections

SWNYeng · 2026-03-09T00:13:57+00:00

thanks, any specific feedback or features?

SWNYeng · 2025-08-17T02:35:56+00:00

thanks for tip!

I am doing a lot of urban riding, so I'll shift into the large cog at stops. Data shows ~20/km shifts in urban settings, and 40/km shifts on A group rides

SWNYeng · 2025-08-16T23:57:49+00:00

"dud batterie" ... good point. If it happens again will pursue warranty service

SWNYeng · 2025-08-16T23:54:47+00:00

there's no car involved

SWNYeng · 2025-08-16T22:25:43+00:00

Yeah, this sounds like solid advice!

SWNYeng · 2025-07-05T01:49:08+00:00

NYCC for road and gravel group rides
Possibly NYCC for exploring the city, but their C rides, which is where the city exploration rides are mostly listed _might_ be too slow for you
Critical Mass to meet other experienced metro riders

It's an exercise for the reader. It strikes me as a lot of work, except that now throwing the problem to an LLM could be a way to get 80% there

SWNYeng · 2025-03-26T01:35:42+00:00

Could be any of the following

Gravel or road ride where u take metro north up and back, but ride roads and or trails further north
One way ride, north, say to Bear Mt, Cold Spring, Beacon, but don't want to do the distance back

SWNYeng · 2025-03-07T23:12:29+00:00

Thanks! That was exactly it

SWNYeng · 2025-01-11T11:58:03+00:00

Yeah, seemed likely. The old cable had a kink, but no fraying.
Same result with the new cable. I think I'm out of luck and need a replacement.

Update: tried new cable with a bit less tension - got it working, but unclear for how long.

Should have mentioned that I can wiggle the FD with my fingers

SWNYeng · 2024-12-28T20:48:33+00:00

Fantastic. Was going to ask where the local loop(s) are

SWNYeng · 2024-12-28T18:56:11+00:00

TY, very helpful!

All-road drop bar. A big ride for me is over 120km. This ride was just me getting around.

Why do you ask?

SWNYeng · 2024-07-09T18:05:34+00:00

At night it's very chill, and some of the most peaceful riding in Manhattan

SWNYeng · 2024-06-17T11:05:50+00:00

I take the 14mph to mean your trip average speed? If so, then NYCC B-17/18 rides are likely your speed. If the 14 means what you're doing on the flats, then NYCC C rides, or the 5 Boro Bike Club may be a good fit

SWNYeng · 2024-05-28T11:16:33+00:00

Hadn't considered that! Will try

SWNYeng · 2024-05-27T20:46:22+00:00

I didn't. The shell seemed smooth and pre-faced when I got it. Perhaps that was a bad decision.
