The Buffalo Bike Posse is still running strong. They were our scheduled header at the top of todays page, so it was fortuitous that I ran into them yesterday at Hoyt Lake. This group has kept the city streets lively all summer long with their menagerie of bikes and their yellow banana shirts. A little info on the group-

A few things about Buffalo Bike Posse: We currently have about 15-20 'regulars' who go every week (the number has dwindled since a lot of us went away to college). But in addition to those, we get more people who come less often-- some weeks we've had crowds over 50 people. We meet in the St. Benedicts parking lot on the corner of Main and Eggert in Amherst at 5:00pm on wednesday nights, and we leave there by 5:30. We're normally at Hoyt Lake (the one in Delaware Park) by 6:00 each week, and we often get people who will meet us there. Our route then goes all the way down Elmwood to the marina, and then back up Main Street to Eggert, where we started. We're really all about having fun, and we love seeing new people come. Anyone can join-- young or old, athletic or not. And, anyone can buy one of our signature tees with the bananas on them for six dollars. -Hanna

A possible choice to succeed US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kennedy's name has been mentioned along with that of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo) and our own Byron Brown, among others. Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f …

  • The NFTA Santa Ride

    Story Image Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way. One of my favorite memories of childhood was taking the train downtown with my grandfather. I would gaze out the windows and watch the tunnel speed by. It always felt like we were going a million miles an hour. Then there was the ability to stand up and walk around during the ride without the need to be strapped down. It was always a fun time …
