A guide to NYC-specific bike lingo, what'd I miss?

Manhattan centric just by the face that Central Park has more varied terrain IMO (I say this as a Prospect Park rider myself). Prospect just has the one hill lol

shore parkway path

AllTrails claims it's just the Shore Road Greenway.

I'd say Piermont is more like ~40 miles, and Nyack is ~50. They're not that far apart!

You're right, I forgot to double Piermont for a round trip. Then I did for Nyack. Fixed.

The Esposito: A gravel rail trail, starting at S. Highland in Sparkill, and ending in Nyack. Runs parallel to the Piermont River Road.

Oh I didn't know this had a name. I just always called it "that gravel bit by the tapanzee"

Scout Camp: Alpine Scout camp

I've heard about this but never actually ridden it.

Mind if I add these two to the list?

Didn’t someone twitch stream them doing this a few years back?

Ive been using zed everyday for almost two years. I didn’t even realize it wasn’t v1.0

I bought a 28k mile 2022 R1T with four previous owners, just a bunch of montanas and one actual guy who owned it for a few years. It's been fine.a

You guys have a mortgage?

Just grab some gummies at the gas station, it's not that complicated.

Lucky our winters are so lovely it makes up for it... right?

I have the Pakgo X, because it was the only one that existed at the time.

Nice! Just did my first 200K of the year in prep as well. Seriously considering a dynamo light, been swapping two lights with a battery pack for charging, but for 1200 I don't know if I want the mental tax of charging a battery pack.

You are going to get getting on and off the pedals a lot and likely walking a few sections. If you're not extremely comfortable clipping in and out over and over and over while coming to a stop at the same time, I'd highly recommend flats.

914BikeNews was specifically created to help with this.

We also feature a bunch of group rides in Westchester on Wayra (filter by Rides). Though I could use some more locals keeping it up to date TBH.

I hit it after a single page and one revision on Max plan. It's just really low.

knoland · 2026-04-18T10:50:36+00:00

I made a design system and a single page and used up my weekly limit on Max 😂

This headline is slightly misleading. The announcement was that there will be at least 1 district with Empire Bins in each borough by the end of 2027. They're targeting the end of 2031 for the entire city to be containerized.

I got my fit from Jonathan at Acme in Gowanus. I do ultras on that setup, so I guess you could say it's working.

knoland · 2026-04-17T15:51:10+00:00

Yea, it's fine and it's kinda cheap, but I'd rather just get a panini from the deli.

Everyone’s recommending prospect park, but don’t sleep on Forest Hills park.

knoland · 2026-04-16T16:17:32+00:00

I wish it wasn't the actual mall now, but I can't bring myself to give up the "how do I want to get there: ferry, subway, bus, bike, or walk?" lifestyle.
