Rides and Races - Toronto Fixed

ID 4 the coppers;

the secret is of course to be nice and cooperative, that way its nothing against them or you when you stick to your rights:

IDENTIFICATION
218. (1) A police officer finding anyone contravening this (HTA) Act or any municipal
by-law regulating traffic while riding a bicycle may require that person to stop
and provide identification. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 218 (1).
(3)…Giving one's correct name and address is sufficient identification. R.S.O.
1990, c. H.8, s. 218 (3).


edit- Kavermich'e example of using the UCI license is a good idea, shows you aren't lying when you insist on providing from memory things like name and address

i'm out for CV tonight lads, had a snooze and woke up at 8:15. enjoy.

And to follow up on that: 56. (1) The Lieutenant Governor in Council may make regulations providing for a demerit point system for drivers of motor vehicles or of street cars. 2005, c. 26, Sched. A, s. 5.

So unless you're driving a very large bicycle that may be mistaken for a street car, ask the happy fuzz to please write "bicycle" on your ticket. Demerits only count for motor vehicles and streetcars.

This from the Cyclometer

yclists and Demerit Points

by Barbara Wentworth

Does the demerit point system apply to cycling offences under the Highway Traffic (HTA)? In a word, NO. But does it happen? Yes, it can. Here's how it works.

Cyclists and motorists can be charged under the HTA, with similar fines applying to both ($90 for most infractions). Section 56 of the HTA allows the province to cancel or suspend drivers' licenses through a demerit point system. However, this applies only to infractions committed while driving a motor vehicle or streetcar.

In order to avoid demerit points inadvertently being assigned to your drivers license for an infraction committed on your bicycle, the following must occur:

* The police officer laying the charge must write "bicycle" in the vehicle type box on the Provincial Offenses Notice.
* If you go to court, the courts must indicate "bicycle" in the vehicle type box on the conviction notice.

If the Provincial Offenses Notice or the conviction notice is received by the Ministry of Transportation without the "bicycle" designation, demerit points will be assigned to the driving record of the individual. If the ministry is notified, the error will be corrected. Better still, follow the rules and you won't get a ticket in the first place.

:p to the last one.

man I was going to join yall on the CV tonight but I got struck with a fit of laziness, weather is so nice I'll make it out some night soon

Heheh, that would be pretty funny; it would be neat to BBQ a dog while riding around though ;)

Yeah, the auction was just posted and there was no pic, just a description and a decent BIN for the frame, an uncut Profile Design carbon fork, a Weyless carbon seat-post, a track chain and a headset, so I pulled the trigger and the seller is sending it USPS so I might even dodge the duties on it, we shall see. The description of the sloping top-tube got me thinking it might be a Pulse, that was why I asked about yours, but I think I'll be happy either way, I have a soft spot for black GTs ;) :D

sounds like a potentially good find... post pics when you can... this has that what's behind door number 3 anticipation

gee, i wonder if there are actually going to be people riding the cv tonight :D

everyone dropped out!

Ahaha, I just remembered I'm going to see Nine Inch Nails this weekend ... weeeeeeee!

*busts out "RECOVERING CHRISTIAN" shirt from 1996 Tori Amos show*

PS. Oh wait, that thing's rotted almost in two. Let's see if I still own any combat boots ...

CV was fun ,,next time out on the big leslie Spit each carries a 6pack with munchi's pic's http://www.flickr.com/photos/steeker/ P.S. nine inch nails awesome and I did'nt like getting hit with the bat in the face...........EDIT :: nice meeting ya traffic jammer and sr2

Okay you monkeys. We have two of our own, eyefloater and somnabulent doing the Friends for Life ride. I just took a spin through both the pledge pages and I've yet to see much evidence of any support from folks here.

I know not everyone is flush but every little bit helps. I dropped $100 bones each, mostly cause eyefloater promised to clean my Ciocc with a toothbrush for a month, but I challenge everyone here to drop $20 or more on these guys. Split it between them or just empty your pockets and give what you can. Even the price of a beer will help, like you really need it you chubby walrus. Apart from being able to hold it over their heads for the rest of their lives, you're supporting a good cause. Chances are someone you know or you yourself may be influenced by the effects of this deadly disease.

So pony up, buttercup. For the half the price of a new jersey, a couple of beers, or a massage (sans happy ending) from operator, you can make a difference, feel good about yourself, and know these boys are going to earn every red cent as they gftg.

Do it. You know you want to...

You shoudl've came we were there till 9

operater I found your track standing pic I can put it up on flicker so you can copy ??

So this is a pretty awesome song.

If you were on the CV two times ago ( when we went to the Kensington Mrkt parking garage) you probably remember me yelling "Short, short, shorty short, short, short, shorty, shorty shorts..."

Most of you will probably find it really anoying and want to turn it off but just give it a chance.

It is fu&#231;|<ing hard core.

Short Shorts (http://www.garageband.com/mp3/Joe_Maximus-Short_Shorts.mp3?|pe1|S8LTM0LdsaSkaVC1YWg)

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for this announcement.

***I can trackstand!***

That is all.

P.S. Those craigslist frames are pieces of ****- that's the same guy that Sweep got that crap frame from which he aptly described as "wall art". A friend of mine also got taken for 20 dollars for a useless chunk of scrap metal.

that's all I needed to hear.

and congrats on the trackstanding

You are up late.

liar

btw mitch..... go to bed

gotta rest up for the hairshirt

I gave Eyfloater 20bills and will give Mr Som 20 as well

You gave me $20? I totally don't remember that! bahahahaha

pm me your email address and I'll email you a form to fill out. :)

That's twice now that I've brought beer out for you! :P Oh well, I just drank it instead. :)

ps. if anyone comes beerless next time, you ain't drinking mine again. Come prepared!

Somna's turnin' hardcore on us no more of the warm and fuzzy. Nice seeing you lot last night.

The light blue one in the foreground with the bubble wrap looks like it has forged dropouts...might be alright. The rest are crap.

never touch another man's beer. :)

Unless he is passed out with drool hanging down from his chin.
I think I actually have a day off for the first time in forever. Anyone down for a ride on Sunday? If not I am just gonna go to the Island and play frisbee golf and drink many many beers.
I have a bit of free cash for those brave F.F.L riders. Being the fair minded guy I am an even split amongst those doing it is in order. That would be Eyefloater and Somna....anyone else I am leaving out?

Would be good if it fit a rear wheel witch the one i got dose not? Very heavy CRAP & it is on my wall!
My first time out last night & you were not there oh well!
Now for riding backwards!
Cheers

Another thing how the hell do i ride around last night & make it home with no problem & wake up to a flat front tire? fruk!

I'll be up for a ride in the afternoon, but I have to drive my Dad to the airport in the morning. I would also totally be up for some frolf (and many many beers)!

As for the donation, unless Eyefloater says otherwise, you should should probably give him the full amount. With the un-entered donations I have sitting at home I'm nearly up to my goal so he needs it more, unless I've missed something.

You and your damn network of co-workers/family ... my own mother and sister haven't even donated cash ... doesn't help either that I work at a shop w/ 4 other FFL riders who are all struggling w/ their own fund-raising efforts. I think tomorrow I may have to show up on Church Street for a few hours and pedal away on a trainer/beg for cash. Keith, I'll need to borrow those hot pants you wore to Forest City. They looked like real money makers. ;)

Eyefloater, sexing it up for charity. *sigh* what's the world coming to? Better shave..... :lol:
Just an idea..... can't the store sponsor the bunch of you and use it as a corporate tax write off. Any accountant/tax people in the house? A few bike banners to put Cycle Therapy's face out there and you have a CT sponsored FFL team. Or are you gonna dust em everyday? You and Soman stage racing your way to MTL? <-- that's the way I wanna do it, balls out hard for a week.

This week-end is chock-O-block full of kids birthday parties and thingies. I'm riding the rocket back and forth almost the entire week-end. Starting with cirque du soliel tonight

sweep242 , how did the Blantire road work out for you/ and nice pic with Cesar/ ,,,,Operater your pic is up

Somnambulant - i got your message last night. i have to appologize for being a bit of a tool; i had my bike shorts on and everything then decided to wimp out and read my argentina guide book instead. i hope you indeed put your name on that beer and drank it. we need to figure out a system of keeping beer cold in a messenger bag or backpack. my initial thoughts would be to fill a large camelback resevoir with ice, put beer and resevoir in plasitic lcbo bag and voila. or, do you thing a bottle or two would fit in the resevoir itself?

Great route newly paved as well & no pushing.Good stuff
Cheers

CT's taking a huge financial hit for the rally to begin with. Anyone doing the rally that buys a bike gets a deal or a 10% (of new bike value) pledge toward their fundraising, we did something like 50 fitting sessions for people after hours, we're doing all the wrenching during the ride/after each stage ... that and one of the owners already shelled out $50 from his own pocket for me (come to think of it, so did one of the others).

So ya, they've done their share and then some. ;)

I think another thing I can do today is hit up some of the photographers I used to assist/do retouching for. Those rich bastards can certainly pony up for a decent amount of cash.
