Hitting up the park this week. Fri or Sat?
Really hoping to luck out and get a chance to ride Mr Freeze since I saw it was operating just a few weeks ago in 100° weather. May be my only chance.

Bike rim protector: cut tear resistant, softish material
Our bike room has a couple dozen of these racks, and the yellow protector has been cut thru on every single one due to the tires rubbing them against the rack hook.
I'm at a loss. I've tried various foams, silicon tape, wrapping a bike inner tube around it (and with the yellow thing in the photo under that), someone was using some durable rough backpack-like material. They've all cut thru within a couple months.
I need something easy to get into the right shape, strong enough to last, soft enough to not damage bike rims, and sticky/rough enough to both not slide off and to help the bike stay up when these cheap hooks inevitably bend downward.
Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but even any nudges in the right direction would be appreciated
Thank you!

Great Adventure: Too fat for Flash Vertical Velocity?
I'm 6'2", 290 lbs; losing weight, but I'm interested in the now. Has anyone with similar stats ridden or tried to ride Flash at Great Adventure? I've heard mixed things, and I don't want to wait an hour to get the walk of shame.
I definitely can't fit Batman, but I can be stapled into El Toro.
Thanks in advance for any experiences or insights.

Ferry: best way to position bike so it doesn't fall over on deck?
I see a lot of people just leaving their bikes (and even e-citibikes) upright under the stairs. I tried it once, and my bike fell over so I've been hesitant to ever since.
My bike is a pedelec e-bike that weighs ~60lbs. The racks are usually fine, but I hate hanging it by the front wheel with the turbulence. And a few times, my bike kept swinging around getting in the way of the exits.
Any tips on keeping it stable upright? It has a caffe lock, so rolling around generally isn't an issue. I know laying it against the railing is also an option, but I'd prefer to avoid that if I can figure out how to keep it safely upright.
