SKINNY TIRE ENVY − BUYING YOUR FIRST ROAD BIKE
Are you relatively new to cycling? Are you riding a hybrid or an old road bike someone gave you years ago? Not sure your current bike will suffice for the SIG you plan to do? You think you want to buy a new bike but you’re a little lost when people start talking frame design and materials, gearing, wheel sets and spoke counts?
Come to our February 11 seminar in the new REI Community Room and get informed!
NYCC member and seasoned cyclist, Carol Waaser, unlocks the mysteries of buying a new bike that’s right for you and within your budget.
Date: February 11
Time: 1:00pm
Place: REI Community Room, 295 Lafayette Street (between Houston and Prince Streets)

NYCC 75th Anniversary Video
As part of the Club's 75th Anniversary Gala this summer, Ellen Jaffe and Christy Guzzetta asked Paula Froke to join with Carol Waaser in doing video interviews of some long-time Club members.
The seven-part 75th Anniversary video features interviews with Michael Allison, Herb Dershowitz, Ed Fishkin, Christy Guzzetta, George Kaplan, Tony Mantione, Gary McGraime, Mike Samuel, Jody Sayler, Jeff Vogel, and Marty Wolf. There also are still photos from the recent and more distant past.
This video captures the history of the Club as seen through the eyes of these amazing members.
Thanks to all of the interviewees for their time and enthusiasm for this project, and to Carol and Jody for doing the interviews themselves. Thanks also to all who supplied still photos.
NYCC extends a special thanks to Paula for giving the Club a wonderful segment of our history to keep forever!
