i rode back to parkdale from mississagua today and got lost in the waterfront trail and ended up somewhere in etobicoke. and i forgot my helmet so it was extra scary with the truck roaring by. on a bike related note i stopped into Gears bike shop on the way home and boy is it fancy-scmancy. something about seeing a ROW of $6000 specialized cross bikes makes the heart weep. they're displaying the gerolsteiner roubaix hanging from a scale and it hefts in at a hair over 16lbs for the WHOLE bike. what a tank.
