thanks for the reminder Trafficjammer I forgot we have alot of Cafe riders in here , anything North of Bloor or west of the X is Tabboo
That certainly isn't true. For example, I took a leisurely ride out into Mississauga on Saturday morning, thankyouverymuch (not to mention riding to MTL in a few weeks). But riding out to the AIRPORT at 2 am is not my idea of a pleasant ride. Concrete and highways is very low on my list of favorite places to ride. Plus some of us have to be at work in the morning. :) (plus all the stuff regarding 32flav's condition after arriving at 2am :P)

I've done day rides to niagara falls, orillia, jackson's point, etc, but i'm still a cafe rider...
EDIT: yes i ride to the cafe, and to the pub and to the market. i prefer to think of myself as a pub rider.
speaking of cafe, anyone want to meet tomorrow morning before work to watch some tour coverage at jet fuel?

one of those scooters you push with your feet? old-style roller skates (with high socks)?

First bit of advice....do it in a well ventilated room. All those years I passed on the glue bag....now look where it's got me...unintended huffing. :eek:
A willing helper...JACKPOT!! You apply the glue while I stand outside...call me when the tires are ready for installation. SCORES!!

Hey Operator, I thought I saw you riding on Queen St around 4 or something (in your white jersey)...I was checking out apts today downtown and while I was in the neighbourhood, I put in my request for a trial to fight the ticket at the Edward St courthouse. $1100 (utils included) for a 3-bdrm around St. Clair/Dufferin!

Yeah good luck with the trial date. It'll come like a year later. And that was me riding on Queen st. I was bombing across to Cycle Therapy... then to urbane and to China town.

Here's the Fuji Track I built up on saturday, it rides beautifully and is very pretty.

The ONLY thing I don't like about the "track", aside from the fact it's not chillin' at my house :lol: , is the typeface of the word 'track', it's hideous in all it Courier-ness. Courier being the name of the font, and one that only appears when the font you had loaded screws up for some reason. I can't help bu tthink it's a mistake on fuji's part. Other than that Mitch it's a sweeeeet ride, go stomp a roadie.
FROM TOUR website. "Stuart O’Grady crashed heavily near the end of the third stage. The Australian CSC recruit went to the hospital last night for x-rays. They revealed a hairline fracture of the fourth lumbar vertebrae. He is still in the race, albeit in considerable pain." A crack in his back and still racing...... I feel old and weak and very unworthy of riding a bike at this moment.
