Someone please remind me to not be so nice to just ANYONE who wants to talk about bikes. Case in point: a bunch of people at my work - a place notorious for hipsters... well and I guess responsible for creating them - have recently started asking me about "those fixed gear bikes". I get excited and answer all of their questions and realize that they don't actually want to know anything... they just want to ride one for now. A second ago, one of them walked in wearing an old school Castelli jersey. He doesn't even own a bike. :S

And on the E-Bike tip; agreed, terribly obnoxious and unnecessary. However, I have to agree with Keith - one battle at a time. A speaking of, I had a good talk with a parking enforcement bike cop this morn after passing - I ***** you not - 12 vehicles parked in the Gerrard bike lane. Including a delivery truck facing on coming traffic - very illegal. He said to start logging complaints at the main office with the addresses of repeat offenders. I'm also going to include licence plates, company phone numbers and pictures if they'll let me. He gave me this number:
