It's sad that so many people just walked by, but I'm not surprised any more.. I went to court last year after witnessing a cabbie dooring a cyclist (who was riding in front of me).. the guy went down into traffic, with his head inches away from an 18 wheeler. It was at a busy intersection (Bay/Dundas) and no other driver/pedestrian stuck around to give their account.
So I says to Mable I says

I seem to remember someone talking about looking for new shoes, but I could be making that up. Anyway, according to Nashbar's latest spam they're having a one day shoe sale. https://www.nashbar.com/results.cfm?s...e-_-OneDayShoe

Even if you're surrounded by people you can never count on anyone to help you or even notice you are in trouble. Rely on yourself, any external help is an extra bonus.

I just learned the butterfly soul razor technique last week and I've been itching to get in a cyclist/motorist altercation to test it out.

"You could be getting shots, stabbed, assaulted, robbed, fellated right next to someone on a packed subway car or on a platform and you'd be lucky if anyone does anything or even notices."

Shapelike: Thanks for all the help yesterday! I'm getting used to riding more in the hoods.
Let me know if you hear anything from Sidi, I checked out their site, but I couldn't find any technical stuff. The model is the Zeta.
