Hopcat Alleycat

There is a saying that no news is good news. Not so in the world of bicycle races. I've asked around, but nobody seems to have any info on this race. It may not even happen.

Far be it for me to say anything about withholding/forgetting details about events, but there is no information available. None. Not even a little. So did we lose one of the biggest alleycat races in this area? I couldn't tell you for sure.

Basically, an NYC Police Officer made up a charge because the NYPD is "cracking down on outlaw cyclists". In other words: police officers are abusing their power. Not really news.

New Sponsor Link

I should have added this a while ago but it totally slipped my mind. Dan's Bike Shop has a new(ish) website. You can see a pretty complete listing of the available used bikes, events, and general information about the shop - including shop hours and phone number.

I had a post about the new site a while ago, but only now added it to the link/sponsor list. Go check it out!
