Winter Clearance Sale at Bicycle Habitat
Monday Evening February 08, 2010 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Charlie McCorkell bicyclehabitat.com and his associates will once again for the fourth year host us!
This is an Exclusive 5BBC happening for members and their invited guests. Store inventory merchandize will be on Sale in excess of the ordinary 5BBC Club Discount for that evening . You will have the opportunity to ask questions of the best crew of Bike Techs in the city. After Hours is obviously a great to time to speak with Habitats Staff in a relaxed, social and informational setting.
Charlie is a fixture of the NYC Bicycle community and has been a great supporter of the Club including our Montauk Century.
"Rumor" has it that he has taken over additional space a few store fronts down that will be ready in Early 2010. While he is still "working" the theme, I understand that part of his vision will focus on Commuter Bicycling, as always Charlie is a head of the "curve" on this one. Bike Commuting is increasing in NYC!
Bicycle Habitat is Located at 244 Lafayette Street, New York, NY 10012 - a few blocks south of Houston Street,
the nearest subway is the #6 to Spring or Bleecker Street. Phone (212) 431-3315
We hope to see you at the program and as in the past many treats and surprises will be offered!.. Light Refreshments to be served!
March Members Program: Kripalu Yoga Class
Friday evening March 26, 2010 at 6:15 PM to 8:00 PM
A Gentle Approach To Yoga
How This Practice Can Benefit Your Cycling Skills!!!
The Practice
5BBC is pleased to work with the New York Center for Kripalu Yoga & Health www.nykripalu.org to present the March members program. The evening will feature certified Kripalu Yoga teacher Timothy Lamb leading a yoga class geared toward cyclists, incorporating stretching and meditation to improve flexibility and focus. Kripalu Yoga encourages self-compassion, a flowing breath, and being present in the body as you choose your level of physical intensity. The key concepts are: Breathe, Relax, Feel, Watch, & Allow. Both beginners & experienced students are welcome to an evening of movement and inspiration.
Lee Vibhusha Ilan and Timothy Lamb
Timothy Lamb has been studying and practicing yoga daily since 2004 and became a Kripalu yoga instructor in the summer of 2009. His classes have a strong emphasis on finding an evenness of breath, body, and mind while incorporating Anusara inspired alignment principles taught by his teacher Paulo Hudson. His class offers clear instruction in pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation (breath awareness), asana (physical posture), and guided relaxation; not necessarily in that order.
Lee Vibhusha Ilan is a veteran 5BBC Member and has been practicing Kripalu Yoga for many years. Since 1994 she has served as the volunteer director of New York Kripalu, the local community that practices & teaches Kripalu Yoga & the teachings of Swami Kripalu.
The class will take place at the Breathing Project, 15 West 26th Street, 10th floor, New York, NY 10011 - between 6th Ave and Broadway. Nearest subways are W/R, 1, or 6 to 28th or 23rd Street, or F/V to 23rd. Please note that this is a departure from the regular Friday Evening class Location. Wear or bring loose comfortable clothing - changing areas and mats are available. Please arrive on time - building doors are locked at 7pm. Cost for the program is $15. Space is limited (as the organization is a volunteer community this helps defray costs) - to reserve your spot, leave a message at 212-591-1213 or e-mail : programs@5bbc.org. Bikes are not permitted in the building. We hope to see you at the program! Optional dinner afterward at a vegetarian Indian restaurant in nearby Curry Hill (Approximate Cost $12 - 15) and share in a communal meal! Peace!

5BBC Programs Coordinator
April General Meeting

We are pleased to announce that our April meeting will be held at Steve Sadoffs' Ground Support Cafe, 399 West Broadway, New York, NY 10012 - (near Spring Street in Soho). Steve is a cyclist and his new establishment (web site in construction) is a bicycle friendly venue allowing bikes inside. He also has bicycle racks on order from The NYC DOT. If the evening treats us to fair weather our meeting will extend out to the sidewalk portion of his cafe. The Ground Support is fast developing the reputation of being The Java Capitol of Soho!
The evening will feature the following activities: A Swap meeting - Bring a piece of bicycle related equipment to trade,barter or sell.
A Bicycle T-Shirt Swap, Bring a T-Shirt (that is a relatively clean one) and we then put your name in a hat. Upon the drawing of your name, you then get to select from the remaining inventory.
Club Member: Jen Benepe will be offering her bike fashion wear at a discount to 5BBC Members www.hotvelociti.com.
Ride up and enter our Flat Fixing Contest - Prize to be announced-While not obviously required,we suggest that you thank Steve by patronizing his establishment as he is looking to attract cyclists as customers. One can get a very nice beverage and a light meal and refreshment there in the $12 - $15 range-Thanks!
