I have to hand it to Igor, he is this city's greatest troll...$10 says he gets a reality show on Slice sometime soon

I do have to wonder how some of those high-end road bikes are going to be used by needy kids...? Can the organization they were donated to not have an auction and use the proceeds of the auction for clothing/beds/etc?

Seriously, you should suggest that. It's a great idea.

I had a great time yelling at Beck cab # 162 last night. The guy was straddling the lanes from Yonge to Parliment. When we went around the skinny corner @ Staples, his car is centred on the lane divider for pour two lanes. I finally yelled at him.. "Move over, get in your F^&*K'N lane and stay there!!!" We both stop at the light , I'm now on the lane line for our two lanes. 'I'm not doing anything wrong', he says. "Dude, one lane of the other, not both, it's called straddling and it's 180 bucks and two demerit points. After that he was driver side wheel on or tothe left of the left most streetcar track. I need to find that bylaw, regardinglane position on streetcar routes, it's getting nuts.

Igor can have any bike he can successfully insert up his rectum.

Based on what I saw when I helped a friend look for her bike for a couple of hours, most of the bikes weren't "high end road bikes". There are probably a few there, but by far not the majority.

And Igor can bleat all he wants. With any luck he'll dwindle into less of a non-entity than he already is, if that's possible. Under the proceeds of crime legislation you don't even have to be found guilty or even charged in order for them to take your swag.

My roommate has a generic version of these with some black Oury grips on them that he'd probably get rid of. Want?
