General Meeting - Monday Evening
January 11, 2010 at 6:30 PM

The holiday season is over and hopefully no one has over indulged in food or drink? What better time than the off season, I know the riding season is never over, than to assess one's fitness and to get ready for the warmer weather. With this in mind we are pleased that our first speaker of the new year will be Merle Myerson, M.D. Ed.D, F.A.C.C. Dr Myerson is The Director of the Pre-Sports Participation Heart Screening Program as well as the Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Program at St Lukes and Roosevelt Hospitals. She has also worked with many clubs such as ours - Please see the following web site for more background info: www.wehealny.org/services/slr_cardioprevention/staff.html.

Dr.Myerson will speak about exercise and the heart, risk factors for stroke and heart attack and what may cause sudden death during exercise and athletic competition. She is an avid runner and cyclist and has competed in cycling road races, time trials and criteriums in the late 1980's.

Please join us for healthy refreshments at The American Youth Hostel Building - 891 Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan at 103rd Street in The Board Room, for this most informative presentation. We will also be hearing from some of the 5BBC's coordinators as to what is being planned for The 2010 Season!

Regards!

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
