You're not that important :P

I was just behind you guys... man! That was you looking back at me

Well, I went out riding yesterday, but I kinda went overboard and rode down to 1 Yonge and back (left at 18:30, got back 0:30). On my way back north I tried to race a roadie just south of Eglinton, who I beat for two blocks then my legs kicked out. Just south of Lawrence there was this guy in a black shirt on a black fixie at around 21:30 who I thought might be on here, not really sure. Speaking about that, if you see a fellow cyclist on the street, how should you go about introducing yourself as a member of BF, or ask if they're a member?

I just go: "Bikeforums?" and if they look confused, then you know they ain't.

Bust a no handed track stand and flip them off akimbo.

Nathan fabian??

Ah, simple strategies work best...I'm not even going to attempt to trackstand, I've fallen one too many times.

:roflmao:

We should post pictures of ourselves to clear up the confusion. did he think you were me or did he think that jeremywhitehorn was your internet name?


a lot of people posted their pics somewhere back before this thread hit triple digit page numbers...

I was just behind you guys... man! That was you looking back at me

I know.. you're so ****ing slow. ;)

:roflmao:

i can do a pretty neat "blood" gang sign.. no pics though. damn, gang signs are cool.

My wife got my daughter a little messer -style bag. It just fits her lunch and a little bit more. It's soo cute!!!!!

reload has some pretty cute toddler bags.. probably pricey though. probably not too hard to make something that size for the young 'uns.

I know.. you're so ****ing slow. ;)

You're dead to me

You're dead to me

muahahahhahah

You're dead to me
...and you're dead slow according to him.... :lol:

Coming from a white 40 year old they look pretty silly. No matter how long I been down wit dat.

look every one just meet for a romp around Toronto streets one night not to fast or slow just cruise the whole CORE on the bikes say from Bloor to the lake/?

40:eek:

yup turned 40 on Sunday, I haven't been dealing with it entirely well, but my wife and kids made it a wonderful day. The mental transition will take a bit more time however.

40?
Cooler than my parents. lol.

SH*T I am 41

Flatterer.... you merely say that because I blaze and pass it on. :lol:
Thank-you Op, it does mean alot to be cool at 40.... sheesh it's weird sayin' it ... 40. *shutters*

I AM, however, looking forward to 42, as that will be my life, the universe and everything year.

Anyone been to the CyclePath at Duff/Bloor recently? Good shoe selection?

RIP, Douglas Adams.

I would like to believe he has merely spread his atoms very very thinly, and we all have a little DA with us.
I think there will be a Life the Universe and Everything birthday party that year, and when my wife and I throw a party.....
Suffice as to say people are still talking about our wedding/party 12 years after the fact. Some people still haven't found their keys....jk'g

Uh 5 years too late?

sorry man you lost me.

I'll try and check out some more Contact exhibits this weekend. There are 3 in the market. I saw part of the one at Xpace before running into someone I hadn't seen in awhile. Cut to coffee and catching up. That's been the best one so far... aboriginals, rights of passage, pretty candid material. There's some local stuff on King east, Toronto Squared I think is what the show is called. We'll see how it is.

??????

ok so it wasn't just me then

my favorite question: "How many roads must a man walk down?"

42!

quick six by nine!!!!

??????


wes the confusion solver makes an attempt:

traffic jammer meant the year he turns 42 will be a "life the universe and everything party".
operator thought he meant the year Douglas Adams dies there will be a "life the universe and everything party"

Did I figure out the mystery? :)

Uh 5 years too late?

It's never too late to give props to DA.

^^^^^^word to dat^^^^^^^
That Wes, he's not just for breakfast anymore.

...and what a party it will be.

there's an interesting one right in the brassai alley where i work. brain farting, can't remember the artist. each piece is a bunch of pics assembled together of the same demographic of people wearing more or less the EXACT same clothes. you'll have old men ALL in their plaid sweaters and corduroy jackets.. old ladies in their raincoats and frumpy hats.. mindless trendy guys in their pre-washed jeans and tight fitting white puma sneakers (ok i made that up).. the power of demographics is really interesting. ok i'm off for mother's dinner with me ma and pa.. (what the hell is wrong with y'all) :)

i've been in there a few times. actually, i bought an UTW bag there. i can't remember their shoe selection being anything to write home about. i still think Duke's has the best selection, and they have a "shoe guy" who is supposedly the guru of footwear who can fit you with something best suited for you. don't know his name, short white-haired skinny guy, kind of shifty but nice and knows his **it.

I saw images from that series a few months ago online. Pretty cool.

I can't believe I haven't been to a single Contact show. I suck. If anyone wants a gallery accomplice, let me know. :)

Yeehaw, just picked up a Gardin frame with a curved top tube from Jet Sanchez. It is way cool. I thought it would be bigger and I was thinking about building it up for my brother, but I might just keep the sucker.

Funny to be tuning in a BBC stream for a Canadian artist.
