There is actually quite a lot of riding that goes on in the city - just a lot of it is shit. NYCC might be a good place to start for organised rides that venture both upstate and into NJ (but you will soon learn that pretty much every ride starts with an awkward roll-out uptown through Manhattan and over the George Washington bridge. There are also a few decent rides that incorporate a train ride from the city.
If you live on Manhattan then you will get used to doing many, many laps of Central Park (~10km)
Let me know if you have any luck on the gravel ride itineraries....id love to come along.
And of course, winter is almost here so there will be at least a couple of very harsh months, if not 3/4.

https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/293649/#comment13253455 separate thread about my SS drivetrain clicking and creaking.
turned out to be the freewheel being on its last legs - teeth were a bit worn and externally looked fine, but internals were shot which meant there was a bit of play, hence the creaking/clicking. The new ENO I have on there made a huge difference (old one was a Halo clickster)

thanks
bb is snug, pedals are in good shape and on tight, ive adjusted the rear wheel (and chain tension) a few times and initially making it a tad looser made the sound a bit better but it soon came back just as bad.
It is a square taper BB yes - I haven't pulled it out yet, but like I said theres no play and it spins smoothly with the chain off

so - my genesis flyer (currently running SS on a Halo Clickster freewheel) has started making a horrid clicking and creaking noise whenever any power is put down - you can feel the creak through both feet and its quite loud. it started after being off the bike for a few weeks.
the chain isn't particularly worn, but the freewheel cog teeth are (I have a new one on order) the spider bolts are secure, the cranks have no play, and the BB spins smoothly with the chain off - ive had a good look at the freewheel and it seems okay, spinning freely and everything.
I dont have a freewheel tool so cant get the thing off, I DO have a white industries freewheel on order, which should arrive in a couple of days...an lbs will put it on for a few dollars...
..my main concern is, could I have missed anything? does that clicking/creaking sound like dying freewheel bearings?
thanks!
