Hudson River Bikeway all Clear Today Dec 28

Rode up to west 72nd st today.Midtown was absolute pandemonium..but the bike way was a pleasure!
I took the bike-way south from 59th street to Battery Park City , all clear!

Gateway Bike Rack - Storm seems to have missed us!

Hudson River Bikeway looking north around 12th st!

Camera fogged when I took it out of my toasty warm pocket.

Just north of the Intrepid at 45th st.

Anyone thinking of riding... probably easier than mass transit at the moment.

San Diego Filmmaker Focuses On Parkinson's Disease

The film’s trailer opens with Smith trading in his cane for a bike. He pulls it out of the garage and settles himself in, with all the accompanying movements and tremors that Parkinson’s inflicts on his body.  The ride will demonstrate the power of keeping the body active and mind positive in the fight against Parkinson’s, and show that even though there’s no cure, the best antidote against succumbing to it’s effects is living life to its fullest.

Hello Shelly,

I want to thank you for sharing Ride with Larry on your blog and for all of your support!  We truly appreciate it and hope that others can keep spreading the word and help to donate on kickstarter.  We are working to establish a grass roots campaign among those who are passionate about curing Parkinson's, interested in the power of cycling, and need or would want to see a story like Larry's.  We think those people can quickly get us to our goal, even in small amounts.  We've been speaking to some amazing researchers in Belfast, the Netherlands, and elsewhere that are studying mobility/exercise and its correlation to Parkinson's.  They have been using Nintendo Wii game consuls and tandem bikes.

Per your question on the Sandiego.com article we would love to find ways of including others who want to help and of course publicity in blogs and articles is huge for us. 

Thank you again for your support!  Happy Holidays and a great New Year!

Best Regards,

Andrew

First Annual (Martha’s) Vineyard Velomobile Gathering

I have been trying to get bent riders on to MV for years.Its the perfect terrain with amazing scenery.I've been vacationing there for at least 30 years!
MV has an amazing cycling infrastructure that seems custom made to for Bents !
Leave your cars at home.

Here is another attempt to make it happen!
From theWorld famous Recumbent Blog.....

First Annual (Martha’s) Vineyard Velomobile Gathering 


And Recumbent!

Oh man I wish I could get to Martha’s Vineyard next June. David (“Boooger”) Whitmon and Myron Garfinkle (who put together the lovely video of his ride on the island) are planning a VELOMOBILE GATHERING!
In his own words:

First Annual Vineyard Velomobile Gathering. Non Velomobile recumbents also welcome.
Below is all the various info but to start off I would strongly suggest the Youth Hostel as a place to stay. It is centrally located, a great place to start and finish the rides, a great place to socially gather, to eat together and hang out after the rides.

MV Family Campground 2010

Myron and I are starting the planning early so as to fine tune the details to make it an absolute blast.
We are looking at Friday June 10, 2011 as the start/arrival date. Saturday we have a ride “Up Island” through the hills of Chilmark and Aquinnah. Approximately a 40 mile ride. Maps will be provide with stopping points to regroup along the way.
Sunday we will have a flat ride of 30 +/- miles which will take us through the towns of Oak Bluffs and Edgartown.
I can tell you now, just riding one Velomobile through these towns gets folks attention. Two velomobile such as Myron’s and mine, brings commerce to a halt. More the merrier… we are going to stand this Island on its ear…
Below is the general info from the Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce along with info about mainland parking and places to stay on Island.
http://www.mvy.com
Parking info Woods Hole and Falmouth.
As Myron mentioned, bringing a car to the Island can be done but is a real PITA just in the logistics alone plus a major hit on ones finances.
There is parking at Woods Hole. It should have room but in case it is full there are other lots farther from Woods Hole.
One cool thing about the other mainland parking is that what ever lot you park at you will either be adjacent to or within a mile of the Shining Sea Rail Trail. An 11 mile Rail Trail that takes you right to Woods Hole Harbor and the ferry to the Island.
On the rail trail you avoid the madness of the traffic on the rather narrow Woods Hole Rd.

The MV Family Camp Ground is a very nice place to stay.
https://campmv.com/?campmvfc.com
As I said, more details will be added as we plan for this absolutly fun gathering.
Please feel free to contact me directly, whitmon@vineyard.net or post it here if their are any other questions.
This Island is a beautiful place to ride.

GOOD IDEA!

Losing his job in one of the worst job markets in recent memory just meant Ian Richie had to think outside of the (lunch) box. He began by delivering homemade soup to friends using his cargo bicycle and cooler and has added customers every week. The name of his business is SoupByCycle. Pedaling while Peddling Soup Ian has created [...]

Horrible Day in Cycling

 Just a Horror....Horrible

Seven cyclists killed in Italy crash 

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2010/1206/breaking4.html

Seven amateur cyclists out for a morning ride were killed yesterday near Lamezia Terme in Calabria when they were hit head-on by an oncoming car that had misjudged an overtaking manoeuvre.
Initial reports suggest that the car, a powerful Mercedes driven by 21-year-old Chafik Elktrani, went out of control while travelling at high speed.
