too large of groups...

Re: Cook St Village Bike Lanes

I'd rather see an expansion of the bike lanes along Fort Street where kids are riding to and from school, or up Cook Street north of Fairfield, which is treacherous as all get out. I whole heartedly agree. I never feel unsafe cycling in Cook Street Village, either myself or with my kids in tow - ex...

Re: Cook St Village Bike Lanes

Re: Cook St Village Bike Lanes

Rolf, (1) doesn't value our regular business, and (2) doesn't share our values. I have never felt anything but welcome at Mokka House for our post ride coffee.

Re: Saturday, Jan 2 • 11 am departure

Would like to ride since I didn't get out of my driveway yesterday morning before I started to slip, but I'm volunteering at Central Middle School for a Christmas tree drop off to raise funds for the Central band. When my son and I signed up a couple of weeks ago, I thought The ride would be long ov...

Re: Saturday "tickles 'n' teddy bears"-fest

After my extra five minutes of sleep which is vital to my well-being, I hit the waterfront and rode to Mitchell's Farm and back - I had to be at work before 9:00. I think Steve just slept in..........
