Toronto Fall Bike Show :D

Fo Sho! Im riding a specialized stumpjumper most of the time with a wrapped up top tube and a red helmet.

I'll keep a lookout. I'm usually always on bloor around 8:40-9am.

Thanks for the info MsMittens! I'll be sure to be there.

I dont actually ride on bloor... its too slow in the AM trafik. I go down St.clair across Avenue road to Poplar Plains then down south on St.George, etc.

Thas tha route!

Odd I never encounter any traffic on any of my routes :D ;)

Anyone been to Ideal Bikes on Queen and Jones? Someone had suggested to me to get a Rock Tour by Gunnar Bikes and they are the distributors. I've sent them an email but no response. Going to call them tomorrow (last time I called I got the answering machine).

Ms. Mittens
I think the opening times are very erratic,

I'm from Richmond Hill, just joined :) So... hi :)

Oooh, do you ride often? Whereabouts?

I ride pretty often yeah, but unfortunately winter's coming :( I am at oak ridges, Yonge+Worthington. I'd like to ride more often and longer distance... right now the top i go is around 17 miles (~ 27km).

Im going to have to try that the week after next, I'll be the guy on the Blue R800, much rounder n most others there! :D

Neato! We could go on one of those TBN rides they have every sat/sun. In fact I was very tempted to go on the 110k ride mussleman lake/goodwood ride.

Or they usually have a leisure roller that goes along the humber valley trails.

Sure that would be fun... do you have AIM or something? ICQ? Yahoo Messsenger?

Just wanted to say hi, and express admiration for those riding down Yonge St at 9am. My normal commute time, from Yonge and Summerhill, is 0715 or so, and I hate it when I have to ride much after that. I used to do Avenue Road, but the road works are horrible. Hope none of you guys are that idiot who cut me off t'other day, then bounced his way on and off the sidewalk, finally overtaking me (I was doing 28km/h on the street, and he was going on the sidewalk. Poor pedestrians.)

Trying to recall my AIM screenname... no luck :P My ICQ is 37471399. I never ride on the sidewalk so couldn't have been me hehe.

that's ok then. now this guy was seriously nuts....

me either, sidewalk is no fun!

the sidewalk is for grannies!

Anyone else participating as a volunteer bike marshall for the upcoming Toronto marathon? (I'm going...!.)

How far is this marathon?

haha


Anyways, I'm in the bloor and bathurst area and make the grueling commute to U of T campus on my dark grey fixie. I'd like to find some people to do longer rides with (fixed or not), as long as they like to push themselves and aren't total geezers.

I will also most likely be going to the bike show on the 16th, so mark me down on the list.

Shiznaz, I am starting a road bike club (includes ss, fixed whatever) at U of T. Any interest/suggestions? I need about 10-15 people to apply for recognition by the SAC. So far most of the people i've talked to didn't seem incredibly interested.

Sure, I'll do it, you get to make up cool titles for yourselves when you make a U of T club. My friends started an ill-fated ski and snowboard club last winter (they never went on a trip), and they officially called themselves 'Super President' and 'The Right Honorable Duke' in their club charter. They seem to let you start clubs pretty easily... what college (or campus) are you at?

Lol! I'm at University college. Sort of defined the purpose of the club to be like the the TBN www.tbn.ca . Organizing weekly rides etc.
