Liz asked:


I have gone to a few bike stores around me and the three types of bikes that seem to be recommended are specialized vienna, bianchi cortina, and breezer. I wanted to spend 300-400 ideally. The bike will be used to commute to work in the city. Any thoughts on which of these bikes is the best? Also is there really a significant difference btw the vienna 1 and 3 (the 3 is more expensive but I am not sure if i need the more expensive bike).

Thanks!

Why doesn’t Metro North build another commuter train station north of Poughkeepsie?

Bert Weidemeier asked:


Ideally, a new commuter station should be built in either Hyde Park or the Town of Poughkeepsie (north of Marist College) to take away the congestion and lack of parking at the Poughkeepsie Train Station on Main Street.
I was only talking of a station in the immediate area north of Poughkeepsie, either in the town of Poughkeepsie or Hyde Park.
