Well, I went out riding yesterday, but I kinda went overboard and rode down to 1 Yonge and back (left at 18:30, got back 0:30). On my way back north I tried to race a roadie just south of Eglinton, who I beat for two blocks then my legs kicked out. Just south of Lawrence there was this guy in a black shirt on a black fixie at around 21:30 who I thought might be on here, not really sure. Speaking about that, if you see a fellow cyclist on the street, how should you go about introducing yourself as a member of BF, or ask if they're a member?

I just go: "Bikeforums?" and if they look confused, then you know they ain't.

Ah, simple strategies work best...I'm not even going to attempt to trackstand, I've fallen one too many times.

reload has some pretty cute toddler bags.. probably pricey though. probably not too hard to make something that size for the young 'uns.

yup turned 40 on Sunday, I haven't been dealing with it entirely well, but my wife and kids made it a wonderful day. The mental transition will take a bit more time however.

Flatterer.... you merely say that because I blaze and pass it on.
Thank-you Op, it does mean alot to be cool at 40.... sheesh it's weird sayin' it ... 40. *shutters*

I AM, however, looking forward to 42, as that will be my life, the universe and everything year.

Anyone been to the CyclePath at Duff/Bloor recently? Good shoe selection?

I would like to believe he has merely spread his atoms very very thinly, and we all have a little DA with us.
I think there will be a Life the Universe and Everything birthday party that year, and when my wife and I throw a party.....
Suffice as to say people are still talking about our wedding/party 12 years after the fact. Some people still haven't found their keys....jk'g
