[QUOTE=somnambulant;6993858]Why bother? I'd rather use a public forum that allows for people to lurk and eventually join in on the posting/fun. Having a private forum with an 'application' would greatly reduce that.

Plus, yeah, nearly 1650 pages in it seems wrong to abandon this thread.

Thanks for the segue I don't post much here but enjoy reading for the perspectives on urban riding! Plus, I was going to ask if anyone here knows a messenger that rides a geared KHS. Yesterday that guy went all in, head to head in a game of chicken against a bus in the northbound diamond lane on Bay near Gerrard, and won. Bus driver hit the brakes hard. Normally I always contradict knee-jerk opinions from motorists about renegade cyclists because by and large the cyclist usually finds a legitimate gap in the traffic, but this move really took the cake. I have never seen anything like it.
