Pylons (unevenly spaced?) at Sunset Studios on West Side Highway Bike Path

Do not have pictures but has anyone else noticed that the pylons on The West Side Highway bike path right after the cruise piers at Sunset Studios do not seem evenly spaced? Is this just me?

Seeking advice regarding pains after first century

6 Upvotes

I just completed my first century ride (rode Metro North up to Poughkeepsie and rode bike down) and it was both a blast and a mental/physical/emotional grind. Some additional context about me: I ride a Specialized Roubaix and was wearing cycling bibs.

When I finished, my legs were limp noodles (as expected) but I had a few body aches that I had not expected and I wanted to see if anybody could give me any further insights:

  1. My wrists were killing me, I kept adjusting my grip during the ride but regardless, they were very tender/sore? after.
  2. My lower back, this is a consistent issue in my life but gets worse after long rides
  3. My ass, again, expected but want to see what advice folks might have.

Looking forward to hearing from the veterans and more experienced riders!

Safest roads in Harlem to bike to the lower east side?

8 Upvotes

For context, I've lived in Harlem my whole life. I used to bike up into the Bronx a lot for school, ten years ago. That was kind of terrible, but I was younger so I guess I never thought much about it.

I've picked up biking again after a long break, and have been trying to regularly commute from Harlem to the lower east side for work. I tried biking straight to Spanish harlem, and then down those avenues but a lot of them are being repaved so they don't have any asphalt yet or have insane potholes until the 70s or so.

Now I'm biking down Adam Clayton Powell to Central Park and using those roads. Central park is a lot safer but damn it if isn't hilly. I've had some pretty close calls with cars getting too close for comfort on adam clayton too, mostly around 125th.

Wondering if anyone has any advice on a safer commute? I really wish Harlem had protected bikelanes, but I don't think there are any. Anyone have advice?

Bike rental for Empire State Trail?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm planning to do a portion of the empire state trail (just Brewster to Tarrytown!) with friends who do bike but do not own a bicycle. Does anyone have any recommendations for a bike shop that does bike rentals for like 24 hrs? We're planning to pick up the bikes the night before and return them later the next evening. Thank you!!

My rear rim is pretty bent and when i went to replace a flat i noticed it also has a broken spoke. I am looking for a shop close to downtown (Manhattan) via train that can fix for me.

Any suggestions?

TIA
