I would.

By which I mean, I'm planning to, even if I haven't figured out some of the logistic considerations so much.

Somone drink 40's and bomb around the city with me. Pussies!

There's a nice looking pake thats been locked in front of the store 24 on brighton ave across from Blanchards liquor store. Its been there for at least 2 months and some of the parts are starting to show signs of decay. Anyone know anything about it?

Alright Boston messengers...

I need your help... what are the worst building to get into/the most asshol-ishly placed messenger centers? I would appreciate that info!

Why do you want this information?

I think scott mentioned something about that Pake a week or two ago

i did....

and i was going to cut the lock and bring it home for safe keeping until someone claims it but it's locked with those massive krypto chain locks

Why do you want this information?

Quit the Newbury Comics Warehouse (mind numbing) and going back to messenging... and I only know NYC places. Just thought I'd try and get a heads up on some of the larger places and their workings.

I was thinking the same thing but that lock WAS quite large

what is it locked to?

city bike lock thingy

sean.

ps. I comfortably rode in shorts today... wtf?

man, I'm gonna be ****ed when I get back... I haven't ridden in like a month (no bike here in s. africa)... I have a feeling I'm going to come back and place DFL in the first ride..

if anyone is around and interested i am thinking about riding this thursday night. just throwing it out there.

guy on a bike, im drunk on a bike

haha, WHAT?!

haha, WHAT?!


wow i have no recollection of this at all....

i'm debating going to monstertrack again this year. not sure if i can finagle the time off.

as for rides, i'm down on weekdays >5 and weekends whenever. working downtown now - if any of you's see a dude with long black hair smoking near the side entrance to 100 summer st - it's probably me.

You should make a point to try and become friends with Don, the older building engineer, before he retires (happening pretty soon IIRC). He hangs out on the Devonshire side most all day every day. Awesome guy.

cool, i'll try to meet him. just started working there a month ago.

So, In the middle of fall I bought all this over the top cycling apparel, with which to brave that harsh new england winters.

WTF?

I haven't been able to wear any of it yet. I'm kind of pissed about this.

true, although I can't say I'm all that upset, I was riding in shorts yesterday, though I'm in jersey right now.

Seriously... what the ****. I was expecting rain today... and I had my ****tier bike with fenders and everything... so disappointed.

It rained a little bit - at least, it must have. The streets were damp, anyhow.

Anyone have an email address for the guy out in framingham who sells those really cheap production single speeds? A friend of mine wants to get a cheapy and I was suggesting one of those schwinn madis. Thought he was selling them for ~$350

Thanks

No but there's his phone#.. 508 620 6600

He has redline 925s for a good price, some conversions, and maybe some other stuff cheap..

At the end of Nov, he was blowing out fuji tracks for $250, because he lost the rights to sell fuji...

i love it.

is there still a blitz this weekend? there was talk of one a little while back.

did anyone ever meet up with those Philly kids?

I now have my bike back. Left savannah sunday. Broke down near Rocky Mount, NC 4 hours into the ride and stayed in Rocky Mount for 24 hours waiting for the car to get fixed. just got home from a 12 hour car ride. I wish I could form good sentences right now.

Nah, i'm going to be in jersey this weekend


did anyone ever meet up with those Philly kids?

They didn't contact anyone or even post to let anyone know they were in town... at least i did see it

i've been told through the bike girl grapevine that there's a pub ride starting at bicycle bill's in allston saturday at 6pm. us cyclistas are talking about maybe doing that and ending up at zuzu's for Soulalluia later in the evening.

I'm back from NOLA. Feeling a bit under the weather but could probably be convinced to ride.

I'm also back in town. Anyone riding tonight?

I'm HARDCORE UNTIL I DIE and all, but it was 20 degrees this morning and I had four layers on riding in, and I was still cold. So unless it magically hits around 40 degrees, I might have to pass. Or someone brings one of those dogs with vodka in the barrel on its collar.

yeah, it's pretty brutal out there once the sun goes down. riding home last night there was an insane head wind too.

but keep me posted...

I'll ride tonight if everyone else dosesn't wimp out..

ahhh, it wasn't that cold today. except when it was under 20. but i'm still sweating after riding back from cambridge bikes just now, so all is well.

i think i'll pass on riding tonight though... prob hit the trainer and put terrible grips on some nitto track drops i just got.

I saw some guy fall off his fixie at market and north beacon today. At least he laughed it off when he got back on his bike.

I don't know what you people are talking about. Riding around now (a balmy 32*) is fine. It's the brutal 20* with tons of wind and sun in your face at 8am ride that kills me.

As for a ride tonight. I am going to eat and see how I feel, but I'll probably come out. I have tomorrow off so if the ride ends up someplace that is both warm and has beer I am extra there.

What time does the ride start? 9:30?

usually people get there at 10 and we leave at like 1015-1030.

Full-sized, red & black exterior, waterproof interior. Used, but in very good condition. Retails
for $160, will sell to you for $80 or best offer.

I just got a new bag so I'm looking to send this bag on to a good
home. It's been good to me, I hope it will be good to you.

Picture of the actual bag is attached, and here's a picture of the bag new:

What size is your bag? My friend is looking for a Large Bailey Works. The down side. She is out of state but would probably pay for shipping considering she would be paying a lot less than getting a new one.

It's the brutal 20* with tons of wind and sun in your face at 8am ride that kills me.

try it at 645am before the sun bothers to come out. it's even more fun then. i almost blew into the T on south huntington this morning.
