Five Borough Bicycle Club General Meeting – Swap Meet

8:37 PM EDT on August 2, 2007

Bring one or more bicycle-related components, tools, accessories, apparel, etc. (new or used) that you don't want, and trade or make a deal for things that you do want.

Of course, there will be food – not to be swapped, but to be eaten. Expect some good old-fashioned NY deli plus a veggie selection.

The 5BBC "Lady Liberty" jersey will be available for a deeply discounted close-out price. Sizes and quantities are limited.

And check out 5BBC member Jen Benepe’s new company, Hotvelociti Cycling Apparel, which features women's and men's bike jerseys, stylish arm warmers, and socks. She will be selling this season's jerseys at the swap meet at a significant discount from retail to 5BBC members and invited guests only!

Does Hochul’s 125th Street Subway Have to Be That Expensive?

The western extension of the Second Avenue Subway has a $7.7-billion price tag that calls into question the very logic of building it at all — but advocates and researchers say the train is a good idea that could cost a lot less with some minor alterations.
