Shiftless bum
My Dad's a lifetime smoker and had a stroke in mid-May, another lovely side effect of smoking. Again, don't smoke kids.

Your honour, my clients is simply a victim of his collection compulsion. How else can you explain all the bikes he kept in storage rather than selling them as any good business man would. He needs help, not punishment.

Fifteen days is lucky. Lucky being relative of course. Most of my relatives lasted months, which is far worse.
edit: sorry, that was out of line.

Anyone have a 1,1/8" rigid 26" fork they arent using? Something solid and threadless? Also taking any non-canadian tire/wally world susp. forks if you have, coils are cool as long as they are stiff. V compatible is a must.
I just blew the seals on this "grind" fork that came with the bike, and it squeaks like an iron gate, and is mushier than an ancient tuna sandwich.
I will trade you things, like an alexrims/shimano rear road wheel, or brakes/levers, repairs/rebuilds, etc.

Ditto.. my Mom a lifetime smoker and is in excellent physical health according to her Doc, but had a 'mini-stroke' about 5 years ago. No apparent effects... she got off VERY lucky.

^^ Beat me to it 
Interesting, but I'm not sure what impact (if any) FCC decisions have on CRTC regulations.

You know, I am staying in NorCAL right now..
The family here is subscribed to Comcast (notoriously known for Bittorrent packet resets)
When I got here about 2 weeks ago and all the bit torrent sites were being blocked (even through proxies!)
I was about to write some firewall rules to drop all RESET packets...
But ever since this court trial thing it seem that BT works great!
Huzzah!

I like bikes.

What's screwing things up is "enterpeneurs" selling gas motors for bikes and claiming they're power-assisted rather than mopeds. Thanks for this. I'm sending Andrea Horwath a letter right now.
That and the fuzz don't know which end is up if it doesn't have four wheels.

Interesting re: the FCC, hopefully it'll at least help to set a precedent here if it ever comes to surface.
I read this in the Sun yesterday(?) and it pissed me off, moreso his intonations and way he wrote it:

Shapelike is great-like!
Hey Mike- did you get accosted by the sketch dude on the mountain bike around Jarvis and Queen? He saw that I was faster than him, made an "oh-ho" sort of noise, and then started racing me (riding with a trailer, mind you!). Then he swerved across the road and almost made me rear-end him. Awesome.
