Hi folks- I'm Todd from Ditmas Park. I commute daily to midtown along Kent on my Atlantis but would love to cruise around with like minded folks on some weekend mornings. I did have the pleasure of bumping into Kai once on his Mountain Mixte and riding down first avenue with him. Would love to

Mark- I have only done 2 rides but my first one - - about a 40 miler - - did offer a little off road terrain out by JFK including gravel,loose sand, railbed sized rock. The tires performed great and felt real pillowy over it all. They also rolled well on the road regardless of the little nubs

Hey I'm in Brooklyn so you can check mine out when it arrives (although it will likely be awhile as wheels need to be built etc.). I'd be interested in trying out the Cheviot. Actually seems to be a bigger Riv community here in NYC metro than I thought. Let's get a ride together in spring. Happy

Hey that was me on the 62 QB which must have been repainted by the previous owner. I'm six months into owning it and am loving it (although considering making it more upright as the reach is a little long). I also have a 60 Ram in Blue and have seen you before hauling through LIC on that
