Did you ride today?

[pooriggy]

Got out on the roads up by Sparta with 26 & Bard. It got up to like 50 degrees, it felt great to be on my bike. Did anyone else ride today?

Trying to recover from torn knee ligaments and a sprained shoulder from a ski crash...



...put in a 47.5 mile loop from Roxbury to Newfoundland on the fixed gear.

I think I'll be okay.

Had to walk up part of Green Pond Road like a chump, though.

26 and Bard were pointing out your old party spots along our road ride today. stop working on bikes and just ride them, like i do.

Hiked. But there were a lot of roadies on 7 lakes drive. Just not sure its worth getting all of the road salt on your frame and components, but then again while the hike was great I wished I had taken out the old road bike.

There is a truck that comes around and services them. not sure how often though. I have seen it once

 

[Dusty the Whale]

The city should get together with the LBS near each Citibike thing and work out a something to service the bikes... $ to small business

 

[pooriggy]

maybe jimmy could do a service contract, he's always hanging out in coffee shoppes in ny.

I believe the trucks are there more to move the bikes around to different docking stations. Some stations are popular and other not so popular so the bikes always pile up in the popular spots. I have heard bike snob complain about this multiple times.

I'm not sure that they get any maintenance at all. It may be just cheaper to replace them all every so many years. Cost of labor and stuff. Maybe they have belt drive inside.
