Rich, I’m happy you are interested in the Second Annual Bike EXPO. A number of local bike shops will be promoting their products and services. Other vendors will include bike supporters, EMS and LLBean.

Come hungry, there will be food!

A few city rides will be led by our League of American Bicyclist certified instructors.

We will be raffling off lots of products including a few pairs of Nike glasses.

And the cost – Free!

How does one go about being a vendor for this event? I work for Broadway Bicycle Co. and I have a feeling they’d want to be there. Also if you want to check out some 2012 equipment before that there is going to be a Specialized World Showcase at Broadway Bicycle Co. on April 21st.

It’s easy to come up with a buck. It’s actually a lot tougher to make a difference.
Try, try, try, whilst on trying will be the rule that must definitely be followed to become an expert in anything.

Yes, Keen made a customer for life. I cannot for the life of me understand why other companies do not get this concept. I recently sent back a heart rate monitor for repair, it was under one-year old, i did not have the receipt so i was unable to get warranty repair. OK, because i did not save or i could not locate the receipt, i paid for the repair. I got the monitor back, it still did not work, it was supposedly tested at the reapir facility by “insert initials here”. Called the support line and after 3 attempts got a human being on the line who attempted to sell me a newer more expensive model for 30% off. The one i had was paid for, the repair was paid for, so i had to convince the ‘support’ person to please repair mine, again, correctly this time. I will not buy another from this company.

Can I simply say what a relief to search out somebody who truly knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You positively know the way to bring an issue to light and make it important. More individuals must read this and understand this aspect of the story. I cant believe youre no more fashionable since you undoubtedly have the gift.

Comment on Albany Bicycle Coalition Supports Hudson River Bikeway over the Livingston Avenue Bridge – Corning Preserve/BoatLauch by Daniel I. Patterson

The thing is if the bike/ped path is not included into the redesign of the Livingston Ave Bridge then the Dunn memorial Bridge (which is the one you speak of 3000 yards south) will be the only viable connection for bicycles between troy and catskill (or east and west/cross the river). The Dunn Memorial Bridge path is steep and narrow (lots of glass too) and according to the Livingston Ave Railroad Bridge Coalition, constructed as an afterthought.

The Livingston Ave Bridge bike/ped path is flat and easy to cross – plus it is aesthetically pleasing. Not to mention the history.

Finally, imagine if the Dunn Memorial Bridge to be inaccessible for cyclists. How would we cross the river?

There are many reasons to why we should advocate to include the bike/ped path into the redesign of the LAB.

Comment on Albany Bicycle Coalition Supports Hudson River Bikeway over the Livingston Avenue Bridge – Corning Preserve/BoatLauch by Ray Drake

For the two years I have lived in Albany, my support for the many projects to improve bicycling here has been unwavering. However, I can not get behind this particular project. There is already a bike path leading over the Hudson less then 300 yards south of the train bridge. The path is sheilded from vehicluar traffic, wide and smooth. While it would be a prettier ride and allow for an easier crossing (less of a climb) the Hudson, I feel it is a waste of time, money and effort. Our resources can be put to a better use.
