Hey guys, long time no post, how's it going?
We've just opened a new shop in Liberty Village, Liberty Street Cyclery. Still getting everything set up and getting more product in, but come on by and check it out. We're primarily focused on repairs, and we can do it all, wheel building, fork overhauls, brake bleeds etc. Mostly Be selling mid to high end stuff, we can get a lot of neat brands like, Salsa, Surly, IRO, Soma, Moots, Independent Fabrication, Santa Cruz, Industry Nine, Turner, All City, you name it, we can most likely get it.
Doing an Industry Nine group buy if you want some sweet wheels for a good price, call for details.
We've got some good pricing on Brooks saddles, call for details.
If you've got any questions just ask or give us a call.

i neglected to reply to this! happy belated baby birthday! at 4 months, i imagine that orin is well on his way to 16lbs. for me/us it's going to be a call on his neck and body control. i really hope we don't have to wait until 12 months, since then it will mean waiting until next spring and i don't know if i can handle waiting that long. ps. i like the "caution!" helmet, brad likes the "mohawk" one...

Are they blitzing right now? Time to stay the hell away from Baldwin/Beverly and move onto arterials like Spadina. Way to keep it safe, TPF.

They want to make sure we ALL know the rules. I can't remember if the blitz was for cyclists or both users of the roads. I stopped, looked and rode @ a red this morning and some old guy in a van in the opposite lane says "red light stupid' as I ride by. So I stop. "Sir, the fact I stopped , looked and proceeded when should indicate to you I was completely aware of the red." "Do you sing out every violation you see a car do as well?" "If not, **** OFF!!!"

here's the news release , it's better news than thought, at least they are being fair.
Media advisory,
Monday, March 29, 2010, 8 a.m.,
Danforth Avenue/Broadview Avenue
54−55 Division Bicycle Campaign
Broadcast time: 05:00
Monday, March 29, 2010
54 Division
416−808−5400
On Monday, March 29, 2010, at 8 a.m., 54 Division and 55 Division officers will start a week−long, zero−tolerance bicycle campaign in the Danforth Avenue/Broadview Avenue area.
Officers will be enforcing laws relevant to the rules of the road, along with any bicycle equipment violations. Enforcement will be targeted at drivers who cross the path of a cyclist or open their car door ahead of a cyclist in an unsafe manner.
This year, the Toronto Police Service has investigated 54 bicycle collisions.
The TPS is requesting cyclists wear light−coloured or reflective outer wear to assist in being seen. Motorists, prior to turning at intersections, should remember to check their rear− and side−view mirrors and blind spots to confirm this area is free of any cyclist or pedestrian flow.

I was riding to work yesterday and was about to go through a stop sign when I saw a cop on a bike (you can tell by the bike) and quickly stopped, put a toe down, and rode along. Turned out he was a parking enforcement cop, but better to be safe than sorry!

More cyclists, = more cyclists hit in the spring. Though I do wonder how many are forcing themselves to the right of a turning car. I see that waaaaaaay too often and it never ceases to chill my blood. There are some instances when the car does have the ROW, bike lane or not.

Bike bells are a buck at dollarama....a ticket is $110 or so.
I wonder what the deal will be with brakeless track bikes? Maybe I will leave it at home this week, I would hate to find out the hard way that it is illegal.
