Sometimes I get afraid I'm going to taco my wheel track standing near the diagonal ones because my front wheel tends to be at about that angle.

Anyways, any news on safety meeting? Otherwise I've got some shopping to do.
Yeah, I hear you on the trackstand wheel eater. 45 degree opening meets 45 degree front wheel. My rear wheel totally went into one of the old-school ones bombing along King St W last year. I'm still surprised it didn't do any damage because it *sounded* brutal.

I'll be swinging by Cavern. I do every week right after work. Then again I'm usually out of there again by 7:00, so it depends on how late you expect it to go.
