Rides and Races - Toronto Fixed

I know, he's kind of stupid about things, like not buying a bike because of its colour. Cyclemania has a nice used bike for $450, good shocks and components, wheels etc with a new frame, but wrong colour and he wants new. Lubo can build him a better one than the ironhorse, but not as good as the used one. He even told my friend the used bike is better. And Colin has his available for $500 and it is way better then anything he has looked at. Crazy. He doesn't get the fact that a good used bike is way better then the crappo sportcrap bike with promax disc brakes for the same price. He is set on a bike to only ride on trails, thus the Ironhorse. Oh well I gave my $.02 and if he doesn't take it...nothing I can do.

You've done your due diligence. The only last gasp recommendation would be to get him to test ride a couple. After that, let him do what he want but have your "told you so" card ready. I kind of like these ones:

I'm posting this from my DS. Out-nerd THAT! :P umm... that's all.

Hahaha, world's greatest flash intro: http://www.danilodiluca.com/

Okay so, stage 15 of the Giro ... a bunch of guys are heading up a climb, Didi's running alongside them w/ his devil costume on. One of the guys grabs his trident and stabs the guy in front of him in the ass with it.

... that is all.


bahahaha.. awesome. (ps. back on the laptop now)

What browser do you use?

Did you buy one?

I have the M3 Simply adapter which uses a micro SD card, trying to find a browser that I can load on to it so I can be just as nerdy.

opera for DS FTW

ding ding ding.. hotdog, we have a weiner.

I picked up the retail nintendo ds browser (which is Opera) yesterday

NERDS!!! woohooo

While the nerds are in the house... what do I do with a ".daa" file? Do I have to copy the image to CDs or can I run it from the hard drive? Any shareware recommendations to deal with it?

You can "Try before you buy" with poweriso's software, but not sure it'll do what you need.

Yeah, I saw this too. There is something about work/utility bikes that is nice, I think they have a bit more personality.

Grab poweriso http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm
Free trial. It allows you to run the image from your harddrive. No burn necessary. Daemon tools (which is 100% free) also supports .daa but not all .daa images are compatible with it.

Keith, as you now know, it's red; the orange frame is essentially the same but not set up as fixed. And I spoke too soon. Not only did I break a front spoke, but on the way home my bottom bracket seized. Grrrrrrrrrr.

woohoo! i'm the winner of the 2nd annual bike joint scavenger hunt!

:D

Woke up...watched all the Corrie episodes from bed with fresh brewed tea...had Huevos at Okay Okay....did a couple laps of the island before 2 1/2 rounds of golf....off to the rooftop pub for dinner and drinks with my sweetheart. Life is grand. That is all.

I was in a bikeshop all day helping people who have no idea what they're talking about. :D

Nicely done. I called you this morning, hopefully I didn't wake you. I gotta get out for some more disc golf soon. Also to Okay Okay. mmm.. huevos.

I just ate some super spicy thai food and I'm sweatin' it up. Might go for a ride to get a breeze to cool off in. :P

Me, I'm walking like a penguin right now. Backs just a little stiff right now. But did have a nice lunch, 3 eggs, bacon, sausage, homefries, pancakes and coffee. Mmmm.

After bike shopping with my friend who is basing his decision in part on the colour of the bike....I feel your pain.

I once had this affliction I’ve broken myself of it! But the wife still has it bad. Sounds like a great day though. Even with all the driving we did today I still got on the MTB for an hour & half.

Just for the record... MONDAY MORNINGS SUCK! We really need to get on to that 0 work day week concept.

I know I've been off work for a bit but were the drivers a little bit extra nuts this morning or am I rusty?

It's alright for quick stuff, but obviously screen-size is a limitation. Better than any other tiny-screen web surfing I've done, but I haven't done much. I wonder what the PSP browser is like in comparison, but I'd prefer a DS over a PSP anyway. It was $35.

I just got screwed in the dentistry ass to the tune of a $1000 estimate (crown for a broken tooth). Can anyone recommend a good dentist that has reduced rates for uninsured patients or at least decent payment plans?

Dude I feel your pain..... I have a 1900$ estimate to remove the post stickin' out of my smile, and *shutters* bridge work. PM coming

You work at Okay Okay now? How's that going?

no i'm a west ender and cook brunch somewhere else but the point was i was sweating in the kitchen while y'all were riding and soaking in the sun. there's something about having to work on sunday mornings...

Sunday morning restaurant jobs suck ass in the worst way. I made sure at the club it was part of being hired, no Sunday shifts, ever. Helps to be recruited to work somewhere when you make demands but after 3 months of eggs over medium and crispy but juicy bacon at a filler job, never again. F-off and cook your own breakfast.

Is the University of Toronto's dentistry college clinic an option? http://www.utoronto.ca/dentistry/patientclinic/patientclinicmain.html

Why, when I can have a low life short order cook do it? Especially when you factor in the dropout waitress clearing my dishes and the loser in the kitchen washing them.

Anyone see the Soprano's last night?
