Anyways, if you happen to pass a guy with a bright blue old ass road bike with a weird geometry (top tube is almost parallel to the tube below it) and a seat post bottle holder that's me.

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).

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.)

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.

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?
