BCBC received an excellent write-up in the most recent edition of NJ Walks and Bikes, a newsletter and website dedicated to all things bike and pedestrian in New Jersey. Compiled by the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University, NJ Walks and Bikes is distributed statewide, and read by many planning and transportation professionals.

In the article, Andy Besold gives readers a little bit of Newark’s bike history in addition to our own organizational history. Its a great read if you’re new to the group or thinking of joining. Maybe it will inspire you to come to a meeting! (See calendar for details) So, we hope you’ll take a moment to read our feature and check out the photos.

And as always, ride safe!

Mystery bike

I saw the perfect bike today on Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn between N4th & N5th St (Greenpoint). It has deep character, slim frame, beautiful lines, gorgeous color and no branding except “3rd Ward on the crossbar and “member” on the main stem. It’s a work of art that should be in a museum. And I gotta have one! If anyone recognizes it and has an idea where I can get one, please let me know… timtsoup at gmail dot….

“Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads.”

The NJ Transit buses cannot run bikes off the road up here.

Nik Wallenda had the right idea.
