A GUIDE TO GETTING AROUND BY BIKE

by Cyclo Pete

Happy Spring, Woodsiders! As the weather improves, so too does our ability to get back on our bikes. Some of us have been biking this whole time, but others, including myself, are taking out our bikes after a winter’s sojourn in storage. To this end, I’d like to introduce a new monthly series: Getting Around by Bike. We’ll be starting with short rides and working up to those glorious long summer rides, along with everything in-between!

Riding For a Purpose

There are multiple reasons to get on a bike. Some people like to do it, some want to reduce their carbon footprint, some find it convenient, some need to bike for work. Whatever your reason, bike rides fall into two major categories. A utility ride is usually a short trip to the store, or multiple destinations, where the bike is mainly a tool to get from point A to point B. A recreational ride is usually a longer trip that starts and ends in the same spot, using the bike as a tool for exercise. Deciding on what kind of ride, or rides, you want to take will help decide how to prepare, how to dress, and what to bring, so it is never too early to start planning your 2023 rides.

Riding Safe

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I cannot recommend biking for anyone who does not want to do it safely, or legally for that matter. I have written about bike laws, but they exist as faithfully as bike lanes to protect those of us who take to a bike to get around. Make sure you have your front and rear lights and a bell and reach for your Hi-Viz PPE including a helmet and reflective vest every time you ride. Not all of those are required but are a must if you want to stay safe out there. If you are missing any of these, correct that now!

Welcome to the 2023 biking season! After a few weeks or months without taking a long ride, I generally start out with short rides to get back into it and prepare for those longer rides later in the season when my conditioning is better. We’ll dive into the details on some of these short rides next month, so until then ride safe, Woodside!

Help Local Papers

Dear

Act by the State Legislature is important to assure survival of local journalism. Most communities are down to one local daily or weekly newspaper. Newspapers have to deal with increasing costs for newsprint, delivery and distribution along with reduced advertising revenues and competition from the Internet and other news information sources.

Daily newspapers concentrate on international, Washington, Albany, business and sports stories. They have few reporters covering local neighborhood news.

Weekly newspapers fill the void for coverage of local community news from Astoria,

Hunters Point, Long Island City, Sunnyside and Woodside.

I’m grateful that you have afforded me the opportunity to express my views via letters to the editor along with others who may have different opinions on the issues of the day.

Albany needs to join us in supporting weekly community newspapers. Readers patronize advertisers; they provide the revenues to help keep them in business. Let us hope there continues to be room for everyone including the Woodside Herald..

Sincerely,

Larry Penner Faithful Reader for Decades
