Gonna be at the Greenmarket this coming Sunday along with our friends from the Electric City Bike Rescue. They’ll be doing minor repairs and adjustments, while we’ll be talking about our efforts to promote a bike-friendly community and giving out helmets and other goodies. So come down with your bike, get it fixed or adjusted, and visit us.
Rain, or the threat of it, caused us to cancel our first two group rides of the season. But It appears the third time‘s a charm. The weather forecast for this coming Monday’s ride is sunny in the 80s.
The ride, which will start at 6 p.m. from Mohawk Harbor, will include a history tour of the Stockade and Mohawk River. The pace will be casual with stops along the way.
Meeting place will be the parking lot behind Druthers. Bring a helmet and come join us.
On July 10, Cycle Schenectady will host the first of its planned summer ride series. Every two weeks, we will explore a different part of the city or county. The pace will be casual,, and the bike trail will usually be used for at least part of the ride.
For this first ride, we will leave from the parking lot behind Druthers at Mohawk Harbor, proceed through the Stockade and out to Lock 8, with stops along the way to hear from experts about the history and ecology of the Mohawk River.
The ride starts at 6 p.m. Steady rain cancels. Hope to see you there.
